Dr Abdul-Nashiru Issahaku has explained that he resigned as Governor of the Bank of Ghana on personal grounds.
Confirming to Graphic Online that he has presented his resignation letter earlier in the day, Dr Issahaku said: “They did not force me out. It was a personal decision".
Speculations had been rife that the 55-year-old economist was forced out by the new government but he told Graphic Online that was not the case and that it was a personal decision.
His last day of work would be Friday, March 31, 2017.
Dr Issahaku was appointed governor in April 2016 by former President John Dramani Mahama.
He replaced Dr Henry Kofi Wampah who took an early retirement four months before the end of his term in August 2016.
Dr Issahaku prior to his appointment as governor was the second deputy governor of the central bank since July 2013.
He holds a Masters in Agric Economics and a Post Graduate degree in Political Science from the University of Georgia.
He worked as a governance expert at the State University of New York, Center for International Studies and also at the African Development Bank and also headed the Export Development and Agricultural Investment Fund (EDAIF).

How does his experience and qualification lead him to BoG governor?
THIS IS LONG OVERDUE. NEXT IS THE GHANA COMMERCIAL BANK BOSS, AGRICULTURAL BANK AND NATIONAL INVESTMENT BANK. ALL THESE CEO'S WERE APPOINTED BY IBRAHIM MAHAMA.PLEASE NANA ACT FAST. TERMINATE ALL THEIR APPOINTMENT. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. WE HAVE HARD CORE EVIDENCE. THANKS.
What of the $4,000,000,000.00 contract to a one year old company when experienced companies where offering the same package at $6m. He surely has some more explanation to give in court.
This was long overdue.. This NDC mole should have been out January 2017..He is relentlessly feeling the heat of uncorrupt minds at the helm of affairs! Doesnt have a clean mind to have associated himself with the NPP! Go!
THE MAN IS JUST A PRINCIPLED PERSON THATS ALL. HE HAS DONE THE RIGHT THING. HE SAYS TAKE YOUR JOB AND LET ME HAVE MY PEACE. IF HE IS THERE ANY THING HE DOES WILL NOT PLEASE THE NPP SINCE THEY ARE NOT THE ONE WHO APPOINTED HIM. I RESPECT HIS VIEWS SUCH PEOPLE ARE NOT MANY IN GHANA.
WHO WILL BELIEVE YOU. IT IS A FACT THAT AT THE ONSET THE NPP GOVERNMENT LED BY OLDMAN TOO-KNOWN OSAFO MARFO AND KEN OFORI ATTA WANTED YOU OUT SO THEY COULD DO THEIR OWN THING AT THE BANK OF GHANA. WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN NEGOTIATIONS WITH A ADDISON OF THE AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK TO BECOME THE NEXT GOVERNOR SO STOP DEFENDING THE NPP CRIMINALS. AND AS USUAL PEACEFMONLINE WILL MAKE THIS A HEADLINE NEWS BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO EXONERATE THE KAPWEPWE'S GOVERNMENT. WE ARE WATCHING. WHO IN HIS RIGHT FRAME OF MIND WILL RESIGN FROM A JUICY CONTRACT MEANT TO TRAVEL FOR FOUR YEARS WITHIN A YEAR?

Do you remember the USD30,000.00 gold watches for management staff? How about the missing USD600 million? How about BOG investigation report on the former MD ,Steve Kpordzih, of Agricultural Development Bank? The DKM scandal? All these scandals will come out in coming weeks. This is the best decision for him.
you think PhD means "Post Graduate Degree" the MA in Agirc Economics is not a post graduate degree to you, right? the editing is abysmal
He has been asked to go to prepare to face investigation.
