Dr. Randy Abbey Appointed Acting CEO of Ghana Cocoa Board
Journalist and football administrator, Dr. Randy Abbey, has been appointed as the Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD).
The appointment was confirmed in a letter issued by the Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama, on Tuesday, January 21, 2025.
“I write to formally inform you that His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic of Ghana, in accordance with Article 195(1) of the Constitution and Section 12(2) of the Ghana Cocoa Board Act, 1984 (P.N.D.C.L 81), has appointed you as the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board pending receipt of the Constitutionally required advice of the Board of Ghana Cocoa Board, in consultation with the Public Services Commission,” the letter stated.
