Joseph Boahen Aidoo, the Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has officially resigned from his position.
In his letter to President John Dramani Mahama, Joseph Boahen hinted that his resignation was in response to the “recent communication dated 13th January 2025 regarding the cessation of all boards of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).’’
He furthered that “although his renewed appointment under the COCOBOD law, 1984 (PNDCL 81), was set to conclude in July 2025, he has chosen to step aside earlier to ensure a smooth transition and enable stakeholders and business partners to establish timely connections with the incoming head of institution.’’
Mr. Boahen also expressed his profound gratitude to former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government and the good people of Ghana for granting him the rare privilege to serve this nation.
“The experience of serving in this capacity has been both rewarding and enlightening, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to the development of our nation’s cocoa industry,’’ he added.
