A thanksgiving service will be held on Sunday, February 25, 2024 at the Empowerment Worship Centre (Prayer Factory) at 9:00am, offering an opportunity for mourners to come together in prayer and reflection.
Kojo played a crucial role in all the success and growth of the corporation. He was passionate about building Ghana’s Integrated Aluminium Industry (IAI) and had so much faith in GIADEC as the vehicle set up to deliver the IAI. Kojo was instrumental in the launch of GIADEC’s four projects of the IAI and announcement of the strategic investor for Project 2 in September 2021.
He was also actively involved in the planning and execution of the recently held signing ceremony for Project 3A on January 26, 2024, where Mytilineos S.A was announced as GIADEC’s strategic partner for Project 3A.
Kojo further supported VALCO’s consultants to develop and execute a communications strategy for the investor engagement process for the Valco Modernisation Project. His contribution included the preparation of a communication plan for the cabinet memo, engagement of key media personalities and academicians, and the development of documentaries for publication in the media.
Kojo built a strong partnership between GIADEC and both the Ghanaian and International media and went further to establish the GIADEC press corps, a group that he cherished and bonded so much with. His passion, patriotism and commitment to his family, colleagues and the media community will be remembered.
Kojo is survived by his wife and three children. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Robert Kojo Yankah during this difficult time. May his soul rest in eternal peace!
