President Akufo-Addo Appoints New National Security Co-Ordinator

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has appointed Major General Francis Adu Amanfo (rtd) as the New National Security Co-ordinator. The new appointment comes on the back of the recent demise of Mr Joshua Kyeremeh, who held the position of National Security Co-ordinator in President Akufo-Addo’s first term of office.

Major General Francis Adu Amanfo (rtd) is a well-known figure within Ghana’s intelligence community. He was appointed by Former President Kufour as Ghana’s Ambassador to Liberia.

Until his appointment as an ambassador, Major General Adu Amanfo was the Head of Defence Intelligence in the Ghana Armed Forces.
