The Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) has announced plans to privatise its management structure as part of efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the state broadcaster.
The proposal follows ongoing discussions on restructuring state-owned media institutions to enhance efficiency and competitiveness in Ghana’s fast-evolving media landscape.
According to GBC, previous shareholder agreements failed to yield the desired outcomes. Under the new arrangement, management of the Corporation will be handed over to a private entity, while full ownership of the facility will remain with GBC.
Director-General of GBC, Prof. Amin Alhassan, disclosed this during an interaction with Parliament’s Communication and Information Committee during a working visit to the Corporation.
“We will own the facility one hundred percent, but we will allow for a private management team to take over, and we will make sure we keep our eyes on them. As for the private sector participation in shareholding, it hasn’t helped us,” he explained.
