NSA boss, Prof Twumasi loses his job weeks after son’s death

Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Professor Peter Twumasi, has been relieved of his duties.

Dodzie Numekevor will replace him in an acting capacity until a substantive appointment is made.

Mr. Numekevor’s appointment, signed by Secretary to the President Nana Bediatuo Asante on February 26, 2024, gives him 14 days to accept the role.

Two weeks prior, it was reported that that Prof. Twumasi was likely to be dismissed. He was subsequently summoned to the Jubilee House for questioning on various issues, where he reportedly appealed for leniency. However, he was unable to persuade the appointing authority, leading to his dismissal as communicated in a recent board communique.

Prof. Twumasi took over as Director General on December 10, 2018, replacing Robert Sarfo Mensah, who resigned following allegations in the ‘Number 12’ exposé by Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Tiger Eye PI.

In addition to Prof. Twumasi’s dismissal, several regional NSA heads, including Salamatu Alhassan (Northern Region), Alexander Tiiku (Central Region), Emmanuel Appiah (Ashanti Region), and Daniel Sarpei (Volta Region), have been transferred to the head office in Accra.

This comes weeks after Prof Twumasi lost his son, Jim Ofori Twumasi, a level 400 student at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

It is reported that he dropped dead while eating with some friends on campus.
