Evatex gives GACL until August 6 to reverse contract termination or face court

The controversy surrounding the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) has deepened, with Evatex Logistics Limited threatening to take legal action if the company proceeds with plans to terminate its revenue assurance audit agreement.

In a letter dated 28 July 2025, shared by journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni and addressed to the Managing Director of GACL, lawyers for Evatex described the intended termination of the contract—signed on 4 December 2024—as being in “bad faith” and “unreasonable.”

The termination is expected to take effect on 27 August 2025.

According to the legal team, Evatex has already invested approximately $64.6 million in infrastructure tailored to meet GACL’s needs under the agreement. The company claims it has begun executing its mandate and has submitted reports to the airport’s operator.

“Our client has received this information to its utter dismay, given that it has heavily invested in the infrastructure tailor-made for the GACL… Moreover, our client had already started executing its assignment in fulfilment of the contract,” the letter stated.

The lawyers have given GACL seven days (ending 6 August 2025) to withdraw the termination notice or face legal proceedings to recover the company’s investments and seek additional reliefs.

The Revenue Assurance Audit Agreement was intended to help GACL monitor and safeguard revenue streams. The dispute, which surfaced publicly through investigative journalist Manasseh Azure’s social media post on Tuesday, has sparked renewed public interest in procurement and contract management practices at state-owned enterprises.

GACL is yet to issue a public response to Evatex’s claims.

However, the unfolding dispute adds a fresh layer to the ongoing probe of GACL’s financial and operational decisions by the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
