Acting CEO of Minerals Commission Aims to Balance Government Policy with Industry Productivity

Isaac Andrews Tandoh, the Acting CEO of the Minerals Commission, says his primary focus will be finding the right balance between government policies and the operational efficiency of the mining sector.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Business Edition, Mr. Tandoh highlighted that his professional background and industry experience uniquely position him to align the government’s strategic goals with the practical demands of mining operations.

“A lot of positive developments have taken place at the Minerals Commission. My predecessor laid a strong foundation through capacity building and infrastructure development. I believe these achievements provide a solid base to drive the government’s strategic policy direction,” he stated.

When asked about the value he brings to the role, Mr. Tandoh emphasized his extensive experience in the mining industry.

“I bring over two decades of mining experience to the role. Having worked on the operational side, implementing policies, I understand what works for both the industry and the government,” he said.

He noted that this dual perspective would shape his leadership approach at the Commission.

“With my background, I believe I’m well-positioned to strike a balance between government policies and the factors that actually drive productivity and efficiency within mining companies.

“I’m confident that I can provide the right guidance to government based on my experience and understanding of the industry,” he added.
