  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has not restored the banking licence of GN Bank, which was downgraded to GN Savings and Loans Company Limited before its licence was revoked. The Governor of the BoG, Dr Johnson Asiama explained this to the Daily Graphic in an interview in the wake of persistent news in recent times that the central bank had restored the licence of GN Bank.

Leadership is not about sitting in offices and enjoying the perks of your position. It is about delivering results, and ri...
