The former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Emmanuel Asiedu-Mante, has died.
Asiedu-Mante died Monday night aged 81, the family has confirmed.
He passed on at the Bank Hospital in Accra after battling with ill health, his son, Daniel Asiedu-Mante, told Graphic Online.
Born in June 1942, he was the deputy governor of the central bank from 29 May 2001 to 31 May 2006.
The junior Asiedu-Mante said the family was devastated.
“It is sad but we will take it a day at a time,” he said.
“It also brings closer to this thing because we saw it coming,” he said, adding that his father had been unwell for sometime.
The son said the family was due to meet this weekend to decide on the burial and funeral arrangement.
