President Mahama Cancels Appointment of Gideon Aryeequaye

President John Dramani Mahama has officially revoked the appointment of Gideon Aryeequaye as the Acting Executive Secretary of the Creative Arts Agency (CAA). The decision was communicated through a formal directive from the Presidency, bringing Aryeequaye’s tenure in the role to an immediate end.

The revocation letter, issued by the Office of the President, instructed that the appointment be terminated with immediate effect. This means Aryeequaye will no longer perform any official duties in his former leadership position at the Creative Arts Agency, the state body responsible for coordinating and promoting Ghana’s creative and cultural industries.

At the time of the announcement, no official reasons were provided for the decision. The Presidency has also not announced a replacement or indicated whether Aryeequaye will be reassigned to another role within government. The lack of explanation has sparked discussions among stakeholders within the creative arts sector, many of whom are seeking clarity on the future leadership and direction of the agency.

The Creative Arts Agency plays a key role in shaping policies and programmes for Ghana’s entertainment, arts, and cultural sectors. As a result, changes in its leadership often attract strong public interest, particularly from artists, creatives, and industry professionals who depend on the agency’s support and regulatory framework.

Reactions to the revocation have begun emerging across social and professional circles, with some calling for transparency in government appointments and others urging the swift appointment of new leadership to ensure continuity in the agency’s operations.

The development forms part of broader administrative decisions under President Mahama’s government, as leadership roles within state institutions continue to be reviewed and adjusted in line with policy priorities and governance objectives.
