The Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Northern Development Authority (NDA), Sumaila Abdul-Rahman, currently standing trial for alleged corruption-related matters, has resigned.
He and his two deputies, Mr. Stephen Yir-eru Engmen and Mr. Patrick Seidu, were hauled before the law court for alleged procurement violations.
According to him, he resigned to allow the ongoing judicial process to take place without any interference.
“I write to resign from my position as Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Northern Development Authority (NDA). This decision has become necessary to enable me step aside and allow the ongoing judicial process to take place without any interference,” he said in a letter addressed to President Nana Akufo-Addo.
“Let me take this opportunity to thank His Excellency the President for giving me the mandate to serve our country as the Acting CEO of the NDA,” he added.
