Organisers of Africa Oil Week, the continent’s premier oil and gas event, have congratulated the President-elect of the Republic of Ghana, Mr John Dramani Mahama.
Mr Mahama, who was the flag-bearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for the December 7 polls, was declared the President-elect by the Electoral Commission of Ghana after securing 6,328,397, representing 56.55 per cent, while the flag-bearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, secured 4,657,304, representing 41.61 per cent.
Since his re-election, Mr Mahama has been receiving congratulatory messages from individuals, organisations, diplomatic missions and from leaders around the world. The congratulatory message from the Africa Oil Week is, therefore, in order.
For the first time, the oil producing West African nation will be hosting the Africa Oil Week in Accra between September 15-19, 2025.
In October this year, Sankofa Events decided to permanently relocate the event from Cape Town, South Africa, to Accra after 30 years of successfully hosting the event in South Africa.
The Director for Sankofa Events and Events Director for AOW, Mr Paul Sinclair, noted in a message that His Excellency John Dramani Mahama’s administration backing of the oil and gas sector as a sector of growth, is in line with AOW’s mission to advance upstream development for Ghana and “ensure we are supportive of domestic, regional and international interests to move forward the continents upstream interests, now more than ever.”
He said there was the need to unite and accelerate development as partners to realise the full potential of the continent’s oil and gas resources.
He said his outfit is expecting to draw a record-breaking turnout of stakeholders from across the globe for AOW 2025.
