A new five-member board of Goldbod Jewellery has been officially inaugurated, with the mandate to direct the subsidiary to add value to Ghana’s gold and make it a market leader in jewellery production and marketing.
The board is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Samuel Gyamfi, with the Managing Director of Goldbod Jewellery, Getrude Emefa Donkor, and Richard Kwamena Prah, a jewellery manufacturer, as members.
Other members include renowned Chartered Banker and Economist Dr. Edem Cudjoe Amengor and marketing consultant Adwoa Amankwaah Boateng Appiah.
The inauguration took place at the Ministry of Finance, where the Deputy Minister of Finance, Thomas Ampem Nyarko, administered the oath of office and secrecy on behalf of Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Nyarko underscored the need for the new governing board to lead the way for the Jewellery manufacturer to add value to the country’s natural resources.
“We have all seen the support this gold resource has been giving to us, Ghana has been blessed with a lot of gold but it still remains that we haven’t been able to utilize the benefits that we should derive from the state resource but now we’re seeing improvement and the subsidiary is to add value to this gold resource,” he said.
The Chairman of the governing board, Sammy Gyamfi thanked President Mahama for having the confidence in the newly inaugurated governing board.
He assured the new board will turn things around in making the gold and other precious mineral businesses attractive to the ordinary Ghanaian.
