WE'RE COMMITTED TO OVERSEEING GHANA'S STATE INTERESTS
The beginning of what is now the State Interests and Governance Authority, SIGA is traceable to the State Enterprise Secretariat (SES), which was incorporated in 1965 under a Legislative Instrument (L.I. 47).
The core mandate of the State Enterprise Secretariat was to promote within the framework of Government policy, the efficient and profitable operations of Statutory Corporations engaged in trade and industry. In 1967, the Ghana Industrial Holding Corporation (GIHOC) was established, and the existing parastatals (government agencies) were brought under its umbrella.
There came a need to create a monitoring outfit to exercise general supervision of operations with the view of advising Government on appropriate measures to take in order to ensure efficient management and profitability within the various SOE sectors.
The first State Enterprises Commission was established by the Supreme Military Council Decree 10 (SMCD 10) in the year 1976 to supervise the operations of statutory corporations, review their objectives, initiate thorough management audit and determine the suitability of enterprise management of all the corporations.

The enactment of the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) Act 2019 (Act 990) has come at a timely manner and clearly shows the commitment of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to ensure the investments made by the State in State-owned Enterprises (SOEs), Joint Venture Companies (JVCs) and Other State Entities (OSEs) yield positive returns to the citizens.
My vision is for SIGA to provide first-class Ownership and Governance role to propel SOEs, JVCs and OSEs for Excellent performance. In order to achieve this vision, SIGA will diligently work to ensure increase in shareholder value to yield reasonable return on investments through sound financial management and good corporate governance practices
