A Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Gilbert Abeiku Aggrey, has petitioned the sector minister over what he describes as a recurring challenge in accessing the Chief Executive Officer, Maame Efua Houadjeto for consultations on urgent operational matters.
In a letter dated October 22, 2026, addressed to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, a copy of which has been seen by Graphic Online, Mr Aggrey (Abeiku Santana) said on several occasions he had requested meetings through the CEO’s secretary or personal assistant, only to be informed that she was unavailable.
He noted that while he appreciated the demands on her schedule, the situation made it difficult to obtain timely guidance, approvals and decisions needed to carry out his duties effectively.
According to the letter, this resulted in delays in operations, stakeholder engagements and the implementation of key assignments.
