Former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Scheme, Gifty Oware-Mensah
Former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Scheme, Gifty Oware-Mensah, a member of the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has returned to Ghana after a brief time away from the country.
Oware-Mensah, who previously served under the Akufo-Addo government, has remained out of the public eye since the 2024 general elections.
Amid allegations linking her to the NSS payroll scandal, reports suggested she had fled to evade accountability.
However, in a statement on Friday, February 28, 2025, her legal team, Sarkodie Baffour Awuah and Partners, clarified that she had simply taken a post-election break.
A video circulating on social media shows Oware-Mensah at Kotoka International Airport, where she was welcomed by friends and family, confirming her return to the country.
According to reports, she is set to present herself to the National Investigation Bureau (NIB) for questioning.
On October 5, 2023, Oware-Mensah received overwhelming support from the 20 Women’s Premier League clubs during the Elective Congress in Tamale, securing a four-year term as the representative for women’s football on the GFA Executive Council.
A dynamic football administrator, she is also the owner of the Women’s Premier League club Berry Ladies and serves as the Chairperson of the Black Queens’ Management Committee.
