The unionised staff members of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) have taken a bold step, declaring Director-General, Professor Amin Alhassan, persona non grata.
At a durbar in Accra on Thursday, August 28, 2025, Divisional Union Chairman Sam Nat Kevor accused Prof. Alhassan of mismanagement, financial impropriety, and neglecting staff welfare.
The workers questioned his legitimacy, pointing out that his contract expired in 2023 and his salary has been suspended since March 2025 due to lack of financial clearance. Kevor stated, “With all these, anyone at all would have resigned honourably, but that is not what we are made to see. Rather, he is tormenting workers who speak to make this matter known.”
Kevor highlighted several incidents, including the sale of GBC lands in Tamale and Kumasi without transparency. “In Tamale, workers went to work, and when they got back, their bungalows were earmarked for eviction. Our director general said he has no knowledge about it, but now, when you go there, the place is China Mall.”
The union demanded Prof. Alhassan’s removal, warning that inaction could cripple GBC’s operations. “Now, GBC is a crime scene, and we need to uncover all these. So far as the appointing authority is concerned, the NMC is playing undue delaying game on these things; we are declaring Prof Amin Perna non grata.”
Kevor stressed, “The Corporation is near collapse, and we cannot have a Director-General whose contract has expired still signing cheques and official documents on behalf of GBC.”
