President John Dramani Mahama has named Major (Rtd) Dr. Joseph Bikanyi Kuyon as the new Director General of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO).
The appointment forms part of President Mahama’s ongoing government formation following his January 7, 2025, inauguration.
Dr. Kuyon, a retired Ghana Armed Forces Major, served from 1989 to 2021, rising from private soldier to roles like Officer in Charge of Pension and Armed Forces Cashier.
He also held UN positions, including VIP Protection Commander in Lebanon and Contingent Finance Officer in Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire.
Academically, he earned a Ph.D. in Financial Management from Dongbei University, China, alongside a B.Sc. and MBA from the University of Ghana.
Currently, he is CEO of Leo Dynasty Group, an estate and hospitality firm.
NADMO, under the Ministry of the Interior, manages Ghana’s disaster response through a national network. Dr. Kuyon’s experience in security and finance is expected to strengthen the agency’s operations amid challenges like flooding.
