Government to split NITA's regulatory and commercial functions under proposed reforms
Samuel Nartey George, Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, announced major reforms to the National Information Technology Agency (NITA) on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, during the introduction of Nana Yaw Amoah-Yeboah as the new Director-General of NITA. The reforms include legislation to separate NITA's regulatory and commercial functions. He stated that the proposed NITA Act will establish a stronger governance framework by separating the agency's regulatory mandate from its commercial operations.
Mr. George also announced that all payments relating to infrastructure managed by NITA would henceforth be made directly to the agency. He explained that this new policy aims to protect public assets, strengthen accountability, and improve the management of the country's digital infrastructure. The Minister noted that these reforms come at a critical time as the government seeks to modernise Ghana's digital governance architecture. He urged Mr. Amoah-Yeboah to promote teamwork, maintain an open-door leadership style, and build on the agency's achievements. Mr. George also commended the outgoing Director-General, Dr. Mark-Oliver Kevor, for his contributions.
