The letter addressed to the Office of the President, however, failed to state the reason why Asiam was resigning.

“I wish the Government well in all its future endeavours,” she parted with some positive words.

Meanwhile, a report sighted by YEN.com.gh claims Asiam resigned because of interference in their job by the Ministry of Energy.

Meanwhile, other reports on social media suggest Frances Asiam may have been sacked, perhaps for incompetence.

This is because another letter dated Tuesday, February 21, 2023, from the Office of the President has appointed Genevieve Sackey to take up the job as the CEO of the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company.

Many feel Asiam resigned because Akufo-Addo's administration has been hit by some high-profile resignations in recent times.
