Atlas Commodities Limited has dismissed allegations that it exploited the public appointment of its founding Chief Executive, Ato Boateng, to gain unfair access to state infrastructure, describing such claims as “misleading and mischievous.” In a statement dated February 24, the company said documents in its possession prove that its working relationship with the state-owned Produce Buying Company (PBC) predates Mr Boateng’s appointment as Deputy CEO of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) in February 2025.
