GACL dismisses widespread reports of unfair promotions.

The Management of Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has taken note of recent publications containing several allegations regarding appointments and promotions within the organization. We wish to address these claims and provide accurate information to the public.

RESPONSE TO ALLEGATIONS

1. All promotions at GACL have been conducted in strict adherence to established protocols, including departmental recommendations and thorough evaluation by panels comprising no fewer than six members, including representatives from the Public Services Commission and appropriate professional associations. Interviews were conducted from May to July of 2024 and appointment letters were issued in August and September of 2024.
2. Ms. Felicia Edem Attipoe has not resumed her post at GACL since January 2025, contrary to claims in the publication.
3. Mr. Gideon Grumah’s promotion to the position of Director, of Commercial Services, was approved by the GACL Board in 2023, prior to the appointment of the current Managing Director, Mrs. Yvonne Nana Afriyie Opare.
4. The allegation that individuals were elevated to top management positions after only three months of engagement is categorically false. Staff members who received promotions have served the company for extended periods, with many having remained at officer level for 15-20 years despite their contributions.
5. Mr. Eric Nartey Yeboah’s appointment followed due process with an interview and was approved by the GACL Board.

It is imperative to state that GACL remains committed to merit-based advancement for all staff. In 2024, 109 Aviation Security Personnel were promoted as part of our Staff Advancement policy, many of whom have dedicated years of service to the company.

We assure the public and all stakeholders of our unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and operational excellence in fulfilling our mandate.
