President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Dr. Abdul-Baasit Aziz-Bamba as Acting Director-General of the Value for Money Office.
The appointment was made in accordance with Article 195(1) of the Constitution and Section 14(1) of the Value for Money Office Act, 2026 (Act 1172).
Dr. Aziz-Bamba will serve in an acting capacity pending receipt of the constitutionally required advice of the Governing Board, given in consultation with the Public Services Commission.
He is a Harvard-trained lawyer who, until his appointment, served as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana School of Law.
The Value for Money Office is mandated to ensure that every cedi of public expenditure serves the public good.
His appointment marks an important step towards operationalising the Office, strengthening scrutiny of public spending, curbing waste and ensuring that public expenditure delivers tangible benefits to Ghanaians.

Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Baba Sadiq, has held talks with the High Commissioner of Barbados to Ghana, H.E. Juliette Bynoe-Sutherland, at the Ghana High Commission in Abuja.
The meeting, according to the Ambassador, builds on the growing momentum in Ghana–Barbados relations, including the recent participation of Barbadian Prime Minister, Mia Amor Mottley, in high-level engagements in Ghana.
The two diplomats discussed strengthening cooperation in key areas including aviation and connectivity, tourism, trade and investment, education, culture, migration and security, reparations and multilateral affairs.
Ambassador Baba Sadiq noted that Ghana and Barbados share deep historical and cultural bonds, adding that the focus now is to translate that shared heritage into practical partnerships that connect people, unlock opportunities and strengthen Africa–Caribbean relations.
