New GNPC Governing Board Appointed
The Office of the President has announced the appointment of a new Governing Board for the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), chaired by Prof. Joseph Oteng-Adjei. The announcement was made official during a swearing-in ceremony held on Tuesday, presided over by the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor.
The newly constituted board is expected to provide strategic leadership and guidance as GNPC advances its mandate within Ghana’s upstream petroleum sector. The appointment of this new board forms part of the government’s broader agenda to reposition GNPC for operational efficiency, investment growth, and long-term energy security.
The new board comprises the following members:
· Prof. Joseph Oteng-Adjei – Chairman
· Mr. Kwame Ntow Amoah – Acting Chief Executive Officer
· Yo Naa Andani Yakubu Abdulai
· Hon. Hajia Zuwera Mohammed Ibrahimah (MP)
· Hon. Seidu Alhassan Alajor (MP)
· Mr. Mawutor Agbavitor
· Mr. Kwame Jantuah, Esq.
The Minister also indicated that the government is reviewing the GNPC Act (PNDC Law 64) to align with current industry realities and global best practices. This reform effort comes at a critical time, as Ghana aims to reverse declining oil production and strategically position the Corporation to capitalize on emerging opportunities across the petroleum value chain.
