President John Dramani Mahama has appointed three distinguished personalities to serve as members of the governing board of the Ghana National Procurement Agency (GNPA), marking a renewed effort to strengthen the agency’s governance and enhance its role in Ghana’s commodity trading and procurement systems.
The new board members are:
-

-
Nana Kwasi Konadu Yiadom I, Ayeasuhene and Akwanserahene of the Techiman Traditional Area.

The appointees were officially sworn into office on Thursday November 7, 2025 by the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry and Member of Parliament for Techiman North, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare (MP), at a brief ceremony in Accra.
Speaking at the ceremony, Hon. Ofosu-Adjare commended the President for selecting individuals with deep community ties, experience and integrity to serve on the GNPA board. She noted that their appointment comes at a crucial time when government is working to improve the efficiency, transparency and competitiveness of Ghana’s procurement and commodity trading systems.
She expressed confidence that the new board would provide strategic direction to ensure the GNPA operates in alignment with national development priorities and supports the broader goals of industrialization, agribusiness growth and job creation.
“The GNPA has an important role to play in stabilizing commodity supply chains, supporting local producers, and ensuring that Ghana remains competitive on both domestic and export markets.” She stated.
She urged the board to adopt innovative approaches to improve sourcing, storage, and distribution of key commodities while ensuring value for money and good governance in public procurement.
The Ghana National Procurement Agency Limited (GNPA) is a limited liability company wholly owned by the Government of Ghana under the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry. The agency operates as a commodity trading enterprise engaged in the sourcing and sale of commodities within the domestic market and for export.

Nana Opoku Fosu Gyeabour II and Nana Kwasi Konadu Yiadom I bring strong leadership experience from the Techiman Traditional Area, one of Ghana’s key agricultural and commercial hubs while Mr. Henry Yaw Acheampong adds an academic and professional dimension to the board’s oversight function.
