The President sent him his best wishes for his next undertakings.
The letter continued, “The President appreciates your service to the country and wishes you the very best in your future endeavors.”
By way of a secondment from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Prof. Opoku-Amankwa was appointed in January 2021.
In June 2021, his contract was once more extended.
The extension, however, was in “contravention of the Human Resource Policy Framework and manual of the Public Services Commission as it seeks to extend your secondment beyond the 3-year maximum limit,” according to his notice of dismissal.
