Emmanuel Asigri<\/strong> <\/p>\n

President Nana Akufo-Addo has sacked the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Emmanuel Asigri and his two deputies, Richard Ebbah Obeng, and Bright Acheampong.<\/p>\n

Mr. Asigri, according to sources, was given the chance to resign but failed to do so, leading to his sacking.<\/p>\n

Minister for Youth And Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah, announced the dismissals in separate letters dated September 3, 2019 addressed to the affected people.<\/p>\n

The statement directed Mr. Ebbah Obeng and Mr. Acheampong as well as Mr. Asigri to hand over to Emmanuel Anaman-Mensah, Director of Technical Projects of the Authority and proceed to collect any terminal benefits or facilities due them.<\/p>\n

The grounds for the deputy CEOs dismissal remains unclear but may not be unconnected with internal bickering.<\/p>\n

Mr. Asigri has been accused of a dubious GH\u00a2 4.5 million contract awarded to Prefos for the training of some 500 youth in Street light repairs.<\/p>\n

That contract is said to have grossly breached procurement regulations.<\/p>\n

Earlier a board member of NYA Arnold Boateng, resigned spilling the beans about the untidy contract.<\/p>\n
