The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Mr George Aboagye, has resigned a statement from the Governing Board said on Wednesday.

Mr Aboagye’s resignation follows an emergency meeting of the Governing Board over a GH¢4,000 cheque made out to a group calling itself Volunteers For Mahama.

“Chief Executive of the GIPC, Mr. George Aboagye, who was recalled from his leave of absence by the Board accepted responsibility and unreservedly apologised to the President of the Republic and the GIPC Board for his actions,” the statement signed by Mr Ishmael Yamson Board Chairman said.
