The National Media Commission has issued a statement to clarify the renewal of Prof. Amin Alhassan’s appointment as Director-General of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC). According to the Commission, Prof. Alhassan’s appointment was renewed on February 26, 2024, and was publicly announced on August 13, 2024, during the introduction of the new Board of the Corporation.
However, recent media publications suggest that some GBC employees were unaware of the renewal. The Commission has requested the Chairman of the GBC Board of Directors to inform all staff members about the renewal to avoid any confusion.
As the Chief Executive Officer of GBC, the Director-General is responsible for the overall leadership and management of the Corporation. This includes overseeing the day-to-day administrative tasks, advising the Board on corporate policies, and ensuring compliance with the Corporation’s objectives.
The National Media Commission expressed its hope that the progress made by GBC in recent years would be sustained through the continued leadership of Prof. Alhassan and the hard work of the staff.
