Samuel Dubik Mahama, the Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), has officially resigned.
For the past two years, Mr. Dubik has been the managing director of the main electric power distributing company in Ghana.
Portions of his resignation letter read, “I have concluded that it is in my best interest to step away for personal reasons.” He gave a two-week notice.
Mr. Dubik was appointed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and assumed the role on May 16, 2022. His departure is a surprise as he has only served in the position for two years.
Before taking on the role of managing director, Mahama served as a non-executive director at ECG. His previous roles included being a non-executive director at GIHOC Distilleries, country representative for Gulfsouth Forest Products, and partner at Dubik & Associates and Wilkins Engineering.
Sources within ECG and government circles have remained silent on the specific circumstances that led to this development.
In addition to his professional background, Mahama is a legal practitioner and a graduate of the University of Ghana.
The letter read:
“I am writing to formally resign from my position as Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana, effective two weeks from the above date. The decision has not come easily, but after much reflection, I have concluded that it is in my best interest to step away for personal reasons.
“Over the past two years and four months. I have had the profound honor of serving this esteemed organization. I am truly grateful for the opportunities I have received. I want to thank the Board for your unwavering support and guidance throughout my tenure. I also wish to express my sincere gratitude to the President for the trust placed in me, which has been a significant aspect of my journey here.”
However, according to Graphic Online, Mr. Mahama has been facing challenges with the board and the staff regarding how he wants to manage the ECG.
