The Ghana Chamber of Mines has announced the retirement of its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Sulemanu Koney, effective March 2025.
Dr. Koney’s departure marks the end of an illustrious tenure spanning over two decades, during which he played a pivotal role in shaping Ghana’s mining industry.
Dr. Koney joined the Chamber in 2000 as Director of Analysis, Research, and Finance, rising to the position of CEO in 2014. Under his leadership, the Chamber championed responsible mining practices, fostered collaboration between industry stakeholders and the government, and advocated for policies that enhanced the sector’s role in national development.
His efforts were instrumental in advancing discussions on fiscal policy, local content, and environmental sustainability.
“Dr. Koney’s remarkable service and commitment to the Chamber and the mining industry have been truly inspiring. His leadership has left an indelible mark on the industry, and we are immensely grateful for his contributions,” said Mr. Michael Edem Akafia, President of the Ghana Chamber of Mines.
Pending the appointment of a new CEO, Mr. Ahmed Dasana Nantogmah, the Chamber’s Director of External Relations and Communications, will serve as Acting CEO.
With over 26 years of experience in the mining sector, Mr. Nantogmah brings expertise in communications, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement to the role.
“We express our sincere appreciation to Ahmed for his long-standing service to the Chamber and for accepting this leadership role,” Mr. Akafia stated.
“His wealth of experience and profound industry knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to enhance the mining industry’s role as a vital pillar of Ghana’s economy.”
