Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority (GSA) Professor Ransford Gyampo has said it took him a while to make a decision on his appointment as GSA Boss.

In an interview on TV3's Hot Issues, the Political Science lecturer at the University of Ghana noted that after spending close to 20 years lecturing, advocating for the interest of lecturers and building networks, news of his appointment came as a surprise to him. "It was a pleasant surprise.

I had to spend almost the whole night not sleeping, thinking because I have been in the University of Ghana for almost 20 years.

I've had a lot of networks and lived with my colleagues and superiors, so many things that I do for my people. "It was something that I had to think through," he told host, Kemini Amanor on Sunday, February 2, 2025.
