We're taking back control - Sammy Gyamfi says gold sector key to economic transformation
Sammy Gyamfi, CEO of the Ghana Gold Board, says Ghana's gold sector holds the key to a bold economic reset, driven by a vision to reclaim control and maximise national benefit, speaking on Joy News' PM Express Business Edition with host George Wiafe. He described his appointment as both unexpected and deeply personal, stating, "For me, it was an exciting call made by the president."
Gyamfi credited the President's foresight for placing him at the centre of a critical sector. He said, "Gold is very essential to the reset agenda of the President, because he believes that Ghana could have maximised national benefits and exerted its sovereignty over its good resources more than we have done since independence." He explained that the renewed focus goes beyond extraction to include trading and value retention. He also acknowledged that others were equally qualified, but described his appointment as a privilege.
Sammy Gyamfi pledged to justify the trust placed in him, saying, "And every day when I wake up, my prayer is to work hard to justify the confidence he reposed in me and not to let him down."
