hehehehehe.......In
a dramatic turn of events, the head of the apex bank of the country has
tendered his resignation letter due to undisclosed reasons.
Governor of Ghana’s Central Bank, Abdul-Nashiru Issahaku has resigned. This was made known to journalists by anonymous source.
According to sources within the central bank, the governor who
officially started his four-year term around September last year
tendered his resignation on Wednesday citing personal reasons.
Although the governors of the central bank have been insulated
against political risk through an amended Bank of Ghana Act which
assures them the security of tenure, speculations have been rife
immediately after the December election that the current government
would like the governor to leave office so they could appoint a
replacement.
Issahaku was first appointed by former president John Mahama in
April 2016 in an acting position when Henry Wampah tendered his
resignation six months before the end of his tenure.
Mahama was defeated at the polls by current president, Nana Akufo-Addo who won the election by 53 per cent.
Sources within the central bank also named former head of the
research department at the bank, Ernest Addison now with the African
Development Bank as one of the front-runners to occupy the Bank of Ghana
chair.
The outgoing governor held his last Monetary Policy Committee press
briefing on Monday, where he announced a 200 basis point reduction in
the bank’s benchmark policy rate from 25.5 per cent to 23.5 per cent.
