President Akufo-Addo has terminated the appointment of Michael Arthur-Dadzie, as the Director of the Fisheries Commission.
A letter dated April 26, 2022, carried the unpleasant tiding to Mr. Dadzie. It was signed by Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante.
“In accordance with paragraph eight of the said letter, your appointment has been terminated by the President. Please ensure that you hand over and cease to act as the Executive Director of the Fisheries Commission no later than close of business on Friday, 29th April 2022,” part of the letter read.
It is not clear why he was fired, but there are speculations that it could be due to the virtually comatose Fisheries Commission that he oversees.
Michael Arthur-Dadzie was appointed Director of the Commission on October 3, 2018.
He has since been directed to hand over to the Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, Hawa Koomson.
He is also to collect three months’ salary in lieu of notice.
