A group of dissatisfied workers at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) is vehemently opposing the extension of Professor Amin Alhassan’s tenure as Director-General

Their primary contention revolves around what they perceive as the inefficiency of Professor Alhassan’s management, expressing concerns that an extension of his term could potentially lead to the collapse of the institution.

In a visible display of discontent, these aggrieved workers, donned in red attire, took their protest to both the interior and exterior of the GBC premises.

Banners were hoisted to articulate their dissatisfaction, and a clear message was sent, urging President Akufo-Addo to promptly remove the Director-General from his position. Samuel Nathaniel Kevor, the Divisional Union Chairman of GBC, emphasized that Professor Amin Alhassan’s contract officially expired on Sunday, October 1, underscoring their stance that he lacks the mandate to continue holding office.

Our Director General’s contract has expired on the 1st of October, 2023. As a result, workers have resolved that we’ve given him a peaceful four-year tenure [but] we are not happy.

 

The company is deteriorating, things to work with have become a challenge and we’ve realized that we need to make the appointing authority understand that if we extend the contract the place will collapse. He remarked.

 

This protest highlights a significant internal challenge within the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, where employees are actively expressing their concerns about the leadership and management of the institution.

 

The workers’ call for immediate action, addressed to the President, adds a dimension of urgency to their grievances, signaling a desire for swift resolution to what they perceive as a critical issue affecting the corporation’s stability.
