Prof. Opoku-Amankwa was relieved of his position in a letter dated Monday, October 17, 2022.

Having been appointed in April 2017, specific reference was made to his secondment in January 2021 from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

The contract was extended again in June 2021, but this extension according to the letter from the Presidency was in “contravention of the Human Resource Policy Frame and Manual of the Public Services Commission, as it purports to extend your secondment beyond the 3-year maximum limit.”

The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) for instance has disagreed with his dismissal describing it a wrong decision

The group said the development is not only surprising but also has left members of the association with overwhelming disappointment.

“This is very disappointing. We are surprised because we had someone who was able to build a very positive relationship and rapport with the union”, said NAGRAT President, Angel Carbonu.

“This termination does not sit well with us because with this termination, all discussions we have had with the GES Director General will all stall and that will not be beneficial for our members”, he stressed.
