Dr Samuel Otu-Nyarko has been elected the incoming Board Chairperson of the African Confederation of Cooperative Savings and Credit Associations (ACCOSCA).
Dr Otu-Nyarko, who serves as Board Chairperson of the Ghana Cooperative Credit Unions Association, was elected unopposed during the 2026 ACCOSCA Annual General Meeting held alongside the Savings and Credit Cooperatives Association (SACCA) Congress.
His election marks a new chapter in ACCOSCA’s leadership, with the continental organisation reaffirming its commitment to democratic governance, orderly leadership succession and institutional continuity.
He succeeds Madam Jeanette Chanda Makgolo of Botswana, who has been recognised for her leadership and contribution to strengthening the organisation’s institutional standing and influence across Africa.
In a statement following the leadership transition, ACCOSCA praised Makgolo for her exemplary stewardship, visionary leadership and dedication to advancing the organisation’s objectives.
The organisation noted that the transition reflected its commitment to good governance, with leadership succession guided by institutional stability, service and continuity of vision.
