Dr. Ernest Addison, Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), has assumed the position of chairman of a newly formed five-member committee to oversee the affairs of COCOBOD’s educational trust fund.
Dr. Eric Nkansah (Dir Gen of Ghana Education Service), Bismarck Fuachi (2022 National Best Cocoa Farmer), Dr. Emmanuel A. Opoku (Deputy CEO in Charge of Operations, COCOBOD), Ray Ankrah (Deputy CEO in Charge of Finance and Administration), and Francis Opoku (Director, Legal, and Solicitor Secretary of COCOBOD) form part of the committee.
The committee, according to its chairman, will make a lasting impact on cocoa farmers and their respective communities through education.
“I acknowledge the caliber of individuals chosen to serve with me on trust; their collective experience and expertise will undoubtedly enrich our effort and lead us towards success.
“I have every confidence that their dedication and insights will be invaluable in advancing the goals of the trust. Having previously served as the chairman of the COCOBOD scholarship scheme for a few years now, I am deeply humbled once again to be entrusted with a leadership role this time with the COCOBOD educational trust fund.”
“I assure you, Mr. Chairman and other board members, that my colleague and I are fully committed to discharging our duties to the best of our abilities. Together, we will strive to make a lasting and positive impact on the lives of cocoa farmers and their communities through education,” Addison said.
