As Acting Deputy CEO, Dr. Nketia is expected to contribute significantly to the fund’s mission of managing mineral royalties and investments, ensuring the nation’s resources are leveraged for long-term development.

This appointment is seen as a strategic move by the government to align with its vision of leveraging Ghana’s resource base to foster economic growth. Dr. Nketia’s leadership is anticipated to enhance MIIF’s efforts to create value for citizens and drive economic sustainability.

The choice of Dr. Nketia underscores the President’s commitment to appointing skilled professionals to oversee Ghana’s valuable assets, ensuring efficient management and tangible benefits for all.
