The Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Ms Josephine Nkrumah, has resigned.
Josephine Nkrumah says she will no longer like to hold the position from April 30, 2022.
This was contained in a letter addressed to the staff of the commission.
“It has been an honor to serve Ghana through this Commission as Deputy as Deputy Chairperson (April 1, 2015 – December 19, 2016) and Chairperson (December 20, 2016, to date). I would like to thank each and every one of you for your cooperation and support during my service to the country as Chairperson, It has been an honor and a pleasure, and a pleasure working with you”, parts of the letter read.
She resigned to take up a new position as an ECOWAS Ambassador to Liberia.
The out-going NCCE Chair happens to be one of the few appointees of the erstwhile John Mahama administration who remained in office after the Akufo-Addo government took over in 2017.
“In the next few weeks, I will furnish you with handing over notes during this time of transition”, she said.
Meanwhile, President Nana Akufo-Addo has accepted her decision after she visited the Jubilee House to tender her resignation letter.
President Akufo-Addo, who is the Chair of ECOWAS, promised to support Ms Nkrumah to succeed in her new role.
“If there is any problem in the course of your tenure as ECOWAS Ambassador, you can always count on our support,” he assured.
He cautioned Ms Nkrumah to be wary of the history of Liberia and its burgeoning democracy.
