President John Dramani Mahama is set to meet with Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and other key government entities on March 13, 2025.
The engagement, organized by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), will take place at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.
It aims to realign SOEs for greater efficiency, transparency, and accountability.
A key highlight of the event will be the launch of a comprehensive study on 16 major SOEs that control a significant portion of state assets. Conducted by SIGA, the study is expected to provide insights into their financial and operational performance while recommending reforms to improve governance and sustainability.
Prof. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, Director-General of SIGA, emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring SOEs operate effectively.
“We are excited to facilitate this important engagement between the President and CEOs of SOEs,” he stated. “This meeting marks a significant step toward promoting good corporate governance, transparency, and accountability in managing state-owned enterprises.”
The meeting will bring together senior government officials, ministers of state, and representatives from the World Bank in Ghana. Discussions are expected to center on enhancing SOE efficiency, profitability, and alignment with national development goals while strengthening corporate governance structures.
SIGA has encouraged Ghanaians to take an interest in the initiative, as its outcomes will have a lasting impact on the country’s economic trajectory.
