Keli Gadzekpo, the Board Chair of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), has tendered in his resignation.
The resignation is confirmed to have occurred in the evening of Tuesday, March 26 2024.
Keli Gadzekpo was appointed by the former Energy Minister and Presidential candidate on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party, Boakye Agyarko.
His appointment was meant to play a strategic role in addressing the issues confronting the energy sector.
The experienced entrepreneur brought his expertise onboard in the capacity of board chair, formulating some energy sector policies which provided a sustained energy supply for the last three years.
In his resignation letter, Keli expressed gratitude to the presidency for the opportunity to swerve but decided to tender his resignation on personal reasons.
The former board chair wished the ECG and the government well in their effort to provide stable electricity for the country.
The board chair's resignation comes at a time where the country is facing energy crisis with the electricity company at the receiving end of backlashes.
However, he remains confident that the ECG will find a level ground to restore comfort back to Ghanaians and all business owners.
With over two decades of experiences in investment banking, he currently serves as the Board Chairman for Enterprise Group.
Additionally, Gadzekpo chairs the Databank Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of the Databank Group.
Educated at Achimota School, Gadzekpo holds a BSc in Accounting from Brigham Young University and is a CPA from the USA.
He furthered his education as a Mason Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, earning a master’s degree in Public Administration.
