Kwaku Sakyi-Addo to chair NCA board; steps down as Telecom Chamber CEO

The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications has announced the resignation of its CEO, Kwaku Sakyi-Addo, as he takes on a new responsibility as Chairman of the Board of the National Communications Authority (NCA), the industry regulator.

He has served the Chamber for six years as its first CEO.

The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications in a statement issued Sunday April 9, 2017, commended Mr. Sakyi-Addo for his contributions toward the growth of the Chamber to its current state.

The Chamber however, is yet to announce its new CEO.

Apart from being the advocate for the operators, the Chamber has over the years built a niche for itself as a thought-leader in industry issues. Mr. Sakyi-Addo has contributed greatly to the growing understanding of the telecommunications industry.

Commenting on his resignation, Ms. Yolanda Cuba, CEO of Vodafone Ghana and Chairperson of the Governing Council of the Chamber said, “Kwaku has made a significant impact during his tenure with the Chamber. He has built a strong organization focused on our industry’s priorities and advocating effectively on behalf of mobile operators and infrastructure sharing companies across the country.”

“We are naturally disappointed that Kwaku has decided to move on to a new opportunity, but we wish him every success as he takes this next exciting step in his career.” said Ms. Cuba.

On his part, Mr. Sakyi-Addo said, “I am very proud of the work that the Chamber has done in aligning our 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.”
