The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has undergone another major leadership shake-up, with President John Mahama appointing Kwasi Afreh Biney as the new Director-General.
His appointment follows the dismissal of Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo, who had been in charge since April 2024.
In addition to Biney’s appointment, Adam Sulley has been named the Deputy Director-General responsible for Operations and Benefits.
These changes come alongside the termination of contracts for three deputy director-generals, signaling a broader restructuring within SSNIT.
The affected officials include:
- Kwame Adu-Darkwa – Deputy Director-General, Finance and Administration
- Juliana Kpedekpo – Deputy Director-General, Operations and Benefits
- Nana Serwah Bonsu Amoako – Deputy Director-General, Investment and Development
This reshuffle is the latest in a series of leadership changes at SSNIT. Just last year, former president Nana Akufo-Addo removed Dr. John Ofori Tenkorang as Director-General, appointing Osafo-Maafo in his place.
Osafo-Maafo’s tenure was marked by internal resignations, including the exit of Michael Addo, then Deputy Director-General for Finance and Administration. His appointment also resulted in the reassignment of Pearl Nana Ama Darko from SSNIT to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
Now, with a new leadership team in place, SSNIT is expected to navigate key pension and social security reforms under Biney’s direction.
The institution plays a crucial role in managing retirement benefits for millions of Ghanaians, and stakeholders will be closely watching how these leadership changes impact its operations.
