Four years on, the process is being repeated, this time around to extend the tenure of office of Dr. Addison for another 4 years which will begin from April 1, 2021, to March 31st 2025.
Speaking on the renewal of tenure of the 15th Governor since independence, Nana Otuo Acheampong congratulated Dr. Addison but urged him not to relent on implementing bold reforms that will ensure the long term sustainability and growth of the banking sector.
The appointment is in recognition of the boldness with which he has approached this job. Given a new mandate, I will give him every encouragement to continue with the bold decisions however unpopular they may be for the betterment of the banking sector. Because a good banking sector is critical for an economy like ours that has a less active stock exchange.”
