Accra, 17 February 2025: The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Kwame Ntow Amoah as its new AG Chief Executive Officer. He will replace Mr. Edward Abambire Bawa, who has been reassigned to GOIL as Managing Director and Group CEO.
Mr. Amoah has held key leadership roles throughout his career, including Deputy Chief Executive at GNPC and Advisor to the Minister of Energy/Director of Petroleum at the Ministry of Energy. He has also served as Chairman and Member of various national, international, and industry boards and committees.
Mr. Amoah has played a pivotal role in international arbitration cases involving Ghana. His contributions include serving as the country's Technical Advisor in the Maritime Boundary Case, which the country won on September 23, 2017.
