Mahama appoints Randy Abbey as acting COCOBOD CEO
President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Dr. Randy Abbey as the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board.
The appointment is subject to the Constitutionally mandated advice of the Ghana Cocoa Board, in consultation with the Public Services Commission.
Dr. Abbey’s tenure as Acting CEO officially begins on January 21, 2025.
“I take this opportunity to congratulate you formally on your appointment. Please accept the President’s best wishes,” Dr Callistus Mahama, Executive Secretary to the President said in a statement.
He was recently appointed to chair Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team.
This was after the Black Stars constituted a new management committee following their disappointing 2025 AFCON qualification campaign.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) dissolved the previous management committee, chaired by GFA Vice President Mark Addo, after Ghana’s elimination from the qualification race was confirmed.
The new five-member committee comprises GFA Executive Council (EXCO) Member Dr. Randy Abbey, former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah, Medeama SC President Moses Armah, FC Samartex President Richard Nsenkyire, and Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association Samuel Aboabire.
