The Unionised Workers of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) have called for the immediate dismissal of Director-General Professor Amin Alhassan, citing a loss of confidence in his leadership and raising serious concerns over the financial management of the state broadcaster.
At a press conference held on Thursday, March 20, 2025, the union accused Professor Alhassan of being out of touch with the aspirations of both the workforce and the corporation, declaring his continued tenure untenable.
Sam Nat Kevor, the Chairman of the union, highlighted that Professor Alhassan's official term ended on October 1, 2023, yet the National Media Commission (NMC) has allowed him to remain in office.
Kevor criticised this decision, stating that it has exacerbated the challenges facing GBC.
The union is also demanding a comprehensive forensic audit of the Corporation's finances under Professor Alhassan's leadership.
“We also demand an immediate investigation and forensic audits of the financial dealings at the GBC during the tenure of the Director-General,” Kevor stated.
Specific areas of concern include Internally Generated Funds (IGF), payments related to the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the 13th African Games, colocation rentals, and the sale or lease of GBC lands.
In addition to the audit, the union is pushing for full compensation for technicians and production teams who worked during the 13th African Games, alleging that they have yet to receive their due payments.
While assuring that their actions are not intended to compromise national security, the union has declared Professor Alhassan persona non grata and insists that he must vacate his position immediately.
“We can no longer work under his leadership. His continued stay is detrimental to the progress of GBC,” Kevor emphasised.
