GTA Deputy CEO Abeiku Santana petitions Minister over communication gap with boss Maame Efua Houadjeto

A Deputy Chief Executive Officer at the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Gilbert Abeiku Aggrey, has written to the sector minister expressing frustration over his inability to easily consult with the Chief Executive Officer, Maame Efua Houadjeto, on urgent matters. In the letter dated October 22, 2026, Mr Aggrey noted that he had frequently requested meetings through the CEO's secretary or personal assistant, only to be told she was unavailable.

This, according to Mr Aggrey, led to delays in operations and stakeholder engagements. He stressed that the petition was not a personal grievance but an attempt to highlight a broader communication gap affecting operational efficiency. Mr Aggrey, who is in charge of Marketing and Special Duties, is seeking the minister's intervention to establish a more effective communication system between the CEO's office and his own, particularly for urgent official matters.

The letter was sent to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, the Board Chairperson of the GTA, and the CEO of the GTA. Maame Efua Houdjeto, in response, endorsed the importance of the issue, acknowledging the need for improved communication and consultation procedures.
