The appointment was confirmed by the Office of the Presidency.
Expressing his gratitude on X, Mr. Deku attributed the milestone to divine intervention while acknowledging the President’s confidence in his abilities.
“This is truly God’s doing. I am deeply grateful to President John Dramani Mahama for recognizing my potential and granting me the opportunity to serve,” he posted.
In a separate message, Wisdom Yayra Koku Deku reflected on his journey with the National Identification Authority (NIA), sharing memories of his beginnings as a temporary Technical Officer in 2008.
