Mr. Gyamfi brings valuable experience to the role, having previously worked with Exton Cubic Group Limited, a well-established mining company in Ghana. He also serves as the National Communications Officer of the NDC, further demonstrating his commitment to public service and economic development.

This appointment underscores the Mahama administration’s commitment to ensuring the effective and efficient utilization of Ghana’s gold resources for the benefit of its people.
