Hajia Safia Mohammed resigned on February 24
Hajia Safia Mohammed has officially resigned from her position as the National Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP), effective 24th February 2025.
Her resignation letter dated 12th February 2025 was addressed to the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) through the Chief Director of the Ministry.
Portions of the letter read: “I write to officially notify your good offices of my resignation as the National Coordinator of the Ghana School Feeding Programme effective 24th February 2025. I appreciate the opportunities I have had while serving in this role, and I’m proud of the accomplishments and progress made by our team during my tenure.”
“However, I have decided to explore new opportunities, hence the need to resign.
“Thank you all for an incredible working relationship, and I wish the Programme *continues on the success and the structures we have built* in order to achieve the shared objectives of GSFP.”
Hajia Safia Mohammed, who is the current Deputy National Women’s Organiser of the NPP, was appointed as the National Coordinator of GSFP in 2023 by Ex-President Nana Akufo-Addo to replace the late Mrs. Gertrude Quashigah.
Since her assumption, Hajia Safia has worked hard to sustain and improve on the social intervention Programme, which now feeds over four million Ghanaian children in deprived public basic schools across the nation.
She has streamlined the operations of GSFP and has successfully introduced a new payment regime to ensure early payment of arrears to caterers.
This has commendably removed or reduced the usual agitations, demonstrations and nationwide strikes by the caterers of GSFP.
Hajia Safia Mohammed also took to her social media handles to profoundly appreciate the Ex-President, Nana Akufo-Addo for reposing so much trust in her to serve in that enviable capacity as the National Coordinator of GSFP. She also thanked the management and staff of the Programme for their support and cooperation during her tenure.
