Gifty Oware-Mensah (woman in turban) is Executive Council Member of the GFA
Former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), Gifty Oware-Mensah, was part of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) officials who held a meeting with the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, on March 17, 2025.
The Executive Council member of the GFA was part of the GFA delegation that included Kurt Okraku, Prosper Harrison Addo, Henry Asante Twum, and others.
During the meeting, Adams urged the GFA to re-evaluate the venues to ensure they meet convenience, safety, and security requirements for hosting Premier League matches.
The meeting also discussed football-related issues, particularly the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers, focusing on the support the team needs to secure qualification.
However, Gifty Oware-Mensah’s presence raised eyebrows among some members of the public, as investigations into her alleged involvement in the NSA ghost names scandal are ongoing.
Recent reports indicated that she was detained by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) for questioning and later released.
President John Dramani Mahama had ordered the NIB to conduct an immediate investigation into the NSA’s operations under the previous government following the discovery of up to 81,885 suspected ghost names on the authority’s payroll.
Gifty Oware-Mensah chairs the management of the Black Queens.
