  The newly appointed Governing Board of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), led by Board Chairman, Mr Akwasi Opong-Fosu, has pledged to work closely with management and staff to reposition Ghana as a premier destination for investment. Meeting formally with the Centre’s staff at the GIPC headquarters in Accra, Mr Oppong-Fosu said the Board’s mandate extends beyond oversight to active collaboration in delivering on the government’s economic transformation agenda. “We are here not just to provide oversight, but to partner with you in delivering on the President’s vision of a transformed, inclusive economy,” he said, citing the Reset Agenda, the 24-Hour Economy initiative, and the Investment Opportunity Mapping Project (IOMP) as key policy priorities. A former Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Mr Oppong-Fosu brings to the role decades of experience in governance, public sector reform, and policy implementation. He stressed that attracting and retaining quality investment will require strategic coordination, innovation, and the commitment of all stakeholders. GIPC Chief Executive Officer, Mr Simon Madjie, described the Board’s inaugural engagement as “a pivotal moment” for the Centre, noting that the combined expertise of the members will help drive impactful investments to support national development. Staff members welcomed the Chairperson’s remarks, expressing optimism that his leadership will foster stronger partnerships and more targeted investment promotion efforts.
