Paul Nana-Nketiah

Accomplished finance leader with extensive experience at the University of Energy and Natural Resources, adept in optimizing budgets and enhancing fiscal efficiency. Proficient in GIFMIS and Excel, I excel in strategic financial planning and team leadership, driving significant cost-saving initiatives while ensuring compliance and transparency in financial operations.

• 08/01/18 - Present, Finance Representative on the Vice-Chancellor’s team that made a successful presentation, Technical Evaluation and Value for Money at the Ministry of Finance for a Facility for the building of the Nsoatre Campus.
• 08/01/18 - Present, Successfully presented and defended the University’s Budget at GTEC on a three consecutive years.
• 07/01/12 - 07/01/18, As a Council member and a member of Standing and Finance committee I contributed immensely to the promulgation of the UENR statute.
• 04/01/12 - 06/01/13, As head of Finance from August 2012 – June 2013, I successfully organized and managed the Finance Directorate and the Finances of UENR, a newly established University before the substantive Director of Finance was appointed. The duties included, besides the normal accounting duties above, having to go to Accra every month for salary subvention Cheque from the GTEC. Yet payment of salary was never delayed for a single month.
• 04/01/12 - 06/01/13, I contributed immensely to the starting of the Dormaa Campus. I was instrumental in looking for a place for accommodation and some classrooms -Johnson Hotel- to start the campus.
• 04/01/08 - 06/01/14, When I assumed office as Accountant of Faculty of Forest Resource Technology (FFRT), the Faculty did not have any Budget allocation at the then NCTE, now GTEC. Upon assumption of duty as an accountant and Head of Finance at the Faculty, I went to GTEC office then at Roman Ridge, Accra and met with the then Executive Secretary-Dr Paul Effah and the Finance Director, Mrs Kwaakye. Even though it was in June I was able to secure budget allocation (at the Mid-Year budget review) for Goods and Services for the Faculty.
• 04/01/08 - 06/01/14, When I assumed work, there was no road linking the GETFund Hostel to the campus. Students were using the main road through the roundabout to the campus. I therefore, encouraged and facilitated the construction of the road that link the GETFund Hostel to the campus, even though it was laterite then.
