President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Malik Basintale as the Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA).

The announcement comes following the resignation of Kofi Baah Agyepong, the outgoing CEO of YEA, who steps down officially on January 24, 2025, citing personal commitments and aspirations.

In his resignation letter addressed to President Mahama, Agyepong described his tenure as “an honour and a privilege” and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve over the past two years. He noted, “I am formally tendering my resignation as the Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), effective 24th January 2025.”

Agyepong highlighted his confidence in the agency’s continued success and extended well wishes to the President, stating, “I wish you continued wisdom and strength in your service to the nation.”

Malik Basintale, a vibrant figure within Ghana’s political landscape, steps into the role at a crucial time for the agency, which focuses on providing employment opportunities for the country’s youth.

He will assume his new role on Monday, January 27, 2025.

Thank you, Mr President, H.E John D. Mahama.
