Kwaku Sakyi-Addo steps down as Telecoms Chamber CEO

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, Kwaku Sakyi-Addo is to leave his post of six years to assume his new role as Chairman of the Board of the National Communications Authority (NCA).

Sakyi-Addo who has been the CEO of the Chamber since its formation in 2010, was recently appointed chairman of the NCA by the Akufo-Addo administration.

The NCA is the industry regulator while the Chamber is an association and advocate of mobile network operators in Ghana.

A statement issued by the Chamber Sunday announcing Mr. Sakyi-Addo’s imminent departure from the organisation, quoted him as saying he was very proud of the work that the Chamber had done in aligning its members around key industry initiatives, driving important advocacy programs and building an enviable industry association.

“I’m grateful to the Governing Council, our entire membership and, of course, the Chamber staff for their support over the last six years.”

The Telecoms Chamber said it would announce Mr. Sakyi-Addo’s successor in due course.

As the voice of the mobile operators and tower companies in Ghana, the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunication works through direct engagements with government (institutions), civil society, key stakeholders and consumers to shape the mobile ecosystem and maximize the socio-economic benefits of mobile in Ghana. The Chamber was registered in 2010 and inaugurated in 2011.
