Madam Frances Awurabena Essiam

The Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company, Madam Frances Awurabena Essiam, has resigned with immediate effect, energynewsafrica.com can confirm.

A source close to Frances Essiam told this portal that Madam Frances Essiam resigned from her post because of the actions of the Minister for Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh.

The source said GCMCL signed an agreement with Ghana Gas Company and that has become a bone of contention between the CEO and Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh who wanted Genser Energy to establish a new gas processing plant instead of the state-owned Ghana National Gas Processing Company.

The interference by the Minister, according to sources, is making the work of Madam Frances Essiam very difficult.

Frances Essiam was appointed by President Akufo-Addo in 2017.
