Osei Ofori, Kofi Abban to lead new Asante Kotoko board as IMC era ends

Ghanaian football powerhouse, Asante Kotoko, is on the brink of a major leadership reshuffle, with life patron His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II preparing to announce a new board to replace the current Interim Management Committee (IMC).

The IMC, led by Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awuah, has been at the helm since the dissolution of the Kwame Kyei-led board in 2023, but sources indicate that the club’s top hierarchy is dissatisfied with its performance and plans to dissolve it in March.

The IMC’s tenure has been marked by challenges in internally generating funds to sustain the club, a shortfall that has reportedly fueled the decision to seek new leadership.

Kickgh.com reports that the incoming board will be spearheaded by prominent business figures Mr. Kwasi Osei Ofori and Dr. Kofi Amoa-Abban, who are expected to present their management team and oversee the club’s operations for the next five years.

Osei Ofori and Amoa-Abban are no strangers to Kotoko’s administration, having previously served on the club’s board before its 2023 dissolution. Their prior contributions included investing over Gh¢2 million into the club and providing vehicles to support the technical team, reflecting a hands-on commitment to the team’s development.

Mr. Osei Ofori, CEO of Rocksure International, brings over four decades of business experience spanning construction, mining, and equipment rentals across West Africa and Europe.

Dr. Kofi Amoa-Abban, founder and CEO of Rigworld Group, is a leading figure in Ghana’s oil and gas sector. His enterprises span Africa, Europe, and Asia, covering engineering, shipping, energy, and training services.
