The National Sports Authority (NSA) has removed Professor Peter Twumasi from his post as Director General. Dodzie Numekevor will serve as an acting Director General until a permanent appointment is made. The appointment of Mr. Numekevor, which was signed by the Secretary to the President, Nana Bediatuo Asante on February 26, 2024, is conditional upon his acceptance within 14 days.
About two weeks ago, JoySports picked intel that Prof Twumasi was about to be sacked. He was invited to the Jubilee House to answer questions on a varied range of issues and he pleaded for leniency. It appears he was unable to convince the appointing authority to be maintained as his sacking was contained in a communique to the board about two weeks ago.
Prof Twumasi was appointed Director General of the Authority on December 10, 2018, replacing Robert Sarfo Mensah who resigned following his alleged involvement in the ‘number 12’ by Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Tiger EyePI. Meanwhile, Northern Regional NSA boss, Salamatu Alhassan, Central Regional chief, Alexander Tiiku, Ashanti Regional director, Emmanuel Appiah, and Volta Regional head, Daniel Sarpei have all been transferred to the head office in Accra.
