William Tevie confirmed NCA Director General

Mr. William Tevie has been confirmed as the substantive Director General of the National Communications Authority (NCA) by President John Dramani Mahama.

He was appointed in an acting capacity on 22nd June, 2015, replacing the previous Director General, Mr. Paarock VanPercy who had ended his term of office. 

A press release by the NCA issued Tuesday said as the Director General, Mr. Tevie, under the guidance of the governing board will be responsible for regulating the growing and developing communications industry in Ghana. 

He was the previous Director General of the National Information Technology Agency and a member of the previous NCA Board of Directors from 2009 to 2013, chairing the Board's Sub Committee on Research in addition to being a member of the Board's Sub Committee on Operations, Finance & Audit and Project Management.

“Assuming the said position with the Authority barely a year,  his recognition at the just ended GITTA Awards as an innovative leader in the Communications industry and his forward thinking recommendations in the field of ICT is a clear indication of his progressive ICT management, strategic planning and operations,” the release said in praise of the new Director General.

The NCA is the statutory body mandated to license and to regulate electronic communication activities and services in the country.
