A Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Development Authority, Stephen Yir-engu Engmen, has been sacked by President Nana Akufo-Addo.

His dismissal comes after another deputy CEO of the authority, Patrick Seidu, was dismissed by the President.

A letter signed by the Chief of Staff, Frema Osei-Opare noted that Yir-engu Engmen is expected to comprehensively hand over his duties and any official property to the Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Development Authority before his departure.

His dismissal is expected to take effect from March 21, 2023.

“We wish to inform you that, H. E. the President has decided to terminate your appointment as Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Development Authority with effect from 21st March 2023.”

Mr Yir-Eru Engmen was appointed by President Akufo-Addo in 2018 as one of the two Deputy Chief Executive Officers of the Northern Development Authority (NDA).

The Northern Development Authority (NDA) has been in the news in recent times over some alleged corruption related case at the office.
