The Lands Commission is gearing up for a transformative phase aimed at improving land administration efficiency nationwide, with fresh leadership and a clear decentralisation roadmap. At a recent strategic meeting, the Commission’s management endorsed plans to establish district-level offices across Ghana, following a directive from the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Mr. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah.
Central to these efforts is the newly appointed Deputy Executive Secretary in Charge of Operations, Mr. Anthony Mallen Ntiador, whose extensive background in land management and digital transformation positions him as a key driver of the Commission’s ambitious agenda.
Mr. Ntiador, who brings over 20 years of experience, including spearheading national digitisation projects like the e-Justice platform and vehicle testing applications, reaffirmed his commitment to fostering collaboration and innovation within the Commission. His leadership style, marked by approachability and teamwork, was warmly received during his introductory tour of the Commission’s Corporate Head Office.
With a Master’s degree in Land Management from the Technical University of Munich and a respected career involving partnerships with international bodies such as the FAO and World Bank, Mr. Ntiador is expected to play a pivotal role in operationalising the decentralisation drive.
His appointment signals a broader push by the Lands Commission to combine technological advancement with strategic expansion, ensuring more accessible and efficient land services for Ghanaians at the district level.
The Commission is optimistic that under Mr. Ntiador’s stewardship, it will accelerate reforms and enhance service delivery during this crucial period of change.
