The State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) is hosting a groundbreaking engagement between President John Mahama and CEOs of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and other state entities in Ghana.
This high-level meeting, scheduled to take place on March 13th 2025, at the Kempinski Hotel, will provide a platform for the President to share his vision for resetting and realigning SOEs to operate efficiently and effectively.
The engagement will bring together senior government officials, ministers of state, and officials from the World Bank in Ghana, underscoring the importance of collaboration and cooperation in driving Ghana’s economic development.
A key highlight of the meeting will be the launch of a comprehensive deep dive study of 16 SOEs that control a significant portfolio of state assets.
This study, undertaken by SIGA, aims to provide valuable insights into the current state of SOEs, identify areas for improvement, and inform strategies for reform and transformation.
The findings of the study will be critical in shaping the government’s policy direction and ensuring that SOEs operate in a manner that is transparent, accountable, and aligned with national development objectives.
“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 the management of state-owned enterprises. We are confident that the outcomes of this engagement will have a positive impact on Ghana’s economic development.”
The meeting is expected to generate fruitful discussions, foster collaboration, and set the tone for a new era of cooperation between the government, SOEs, and other stakeholders. SIGA invites all Ghanaians to take interest in this important initiative and to follow the proceedings of the meeting.
