The Director-General of SSNIT, John Ofori-Tenkorang, has been terminated

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has sacked the Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), John Ofori-Tenkorang.

He has up to April 15, 2024, to handover to Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo and proceed to collect any terminal benefits he may be entitled to. This decision could potentially disrupt the operations of SSNIT, as a change in leadership often brings about a period of adjustment and uncertainty. It will be crucial for the incoming Director-General, Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo, to quickly familiarize himself with the organization's functions and establish a smooth transition to ensure the continued effective management of SSNIT.

A letter dated April 8, 2024, signed by the Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante, addressed to John Ofori-Tenkorang and seen by Graphic Online, stated.

It read: "Reference is made to your appointment letter dated July 1, 2019, issued by the Public Service Commission."

In accordance with paragraph 8 of the said appointment letter, I regret to inform you that the President has terminated your appointment effective April 15, 2024, with three (3) months' salary in lieu of notice.

You are directed to hand over your office to Mr. Kofi Bosompem Osafo-Maafo and proceed to collect any terminal benefits you may be entitled to.

"To ensure a smooth transition, kindly hand over and cease to act as the Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) no later than the close of business on Monday, April 15, 2024.

"The President thanks you for your service to the nation and extends his best wishes," the letter added.
