The State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) is set to host a high-profile engagement between President John Mahama and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) alongside key government entities.
The crucial meeting, scheduled for March 13, 2025, will take place at the prestigious Kempinski Hotel in Accra. It marks a defining moment in Ghana’s governance landscape, as President Mahama is expected to outline his vision for restructuring and improving the efficiency of SOEs.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the role of SOEs in driving national economic growth. The meeting will bring together senior government officials, ministers of state, and representatives from the World Bank in Ghana, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between the government, international partners, and state enterprises.
A key highlight of the event will be the launch of an in-depth study on 16 SOEs, which collectively manage a significant share of the country’s state assets. Conducted by SIGA, the study aims to assess the performance of these enterprises, identify key areas for reform, and propose actionable strategies for their transformation.
According to SIGA, the findings will be instrumental in shaping government policies to ensure SOEs operate with greater transparency, accountability, and alignment with Ghana’s development goals.
“We are excited to facilitate this important engagement between the President and CEOs of SOEs,” said Prof. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, Director-General of SIGA.
This meeting marks a significant step towards promoting good corporate governance, transparency, and accountability in managing state-owned enterprises.
We are confident that the outcomes of this engagement will positively impact Ghana’s economic development,” he added.
The discussions are expected to drive productive dialogue, foster cooperation, and set the stage for a new era of collaboration between the government, SOEs, and key stakeholders. SIGA encourages all Ghanaians to take an active interest in this initiative and follow the proceedings closely.
This engagement represents a major move toward improving SOE governance, a sector crucial to Ghana’s economic growth and national progress.
