Colonel Emmanuel Obeng Nyante is a Ghanaian soldier and politician. He was a member of the National Redemption Council (NRC) government which ruled Ghana between January 1972 and October 1975 following a military coup led by Colonel Kutu Acheampong.

Following the overthrow of the constitutionally elected Progress Party government of Kofi Abrefa Busia, Nyante was appointed as a member of the NRC which formed a military government. He first served as the Eastern Regional Commissioner from January 1972 to 1973. [1] [2]

In May 1973, he was moved to the Volta Region where he replaced Major P. K. D. Habadah as the Volta Regional Commissioner until January 1974.[3] [4]

In 1974, Nyante became the Commissioner for Education, Youth and Culture. He held this position until the NRC was replaced by the Supreme Military Council in October 1975.[5] [6] [7]
