A statement from the Presidency said the “President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, is not in a position to renew your contract as Executive Secretary of the Lands Commission for another term”.

The statement, however, asked Dr Anim-Odame to report to the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Mr John Peter Amewu, for re-assignment at the end of his leave.

Meanwhile, a former Chief Director of the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, Alhaji Suleimana Mahama, has been appointed to act as Executive Secretary.

Dr Anim-Odame’s contract ends on July 14, 2018 but the statement was silent on why he had been relieved of his post.
