President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Dr. Yussif Sulemana as the new Acting Managing Director of Tema Oil Refinery (TOR).
He replaces Kofi Tagoe Mocumbi who served as the Managing Director during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration.
During Akufo-Addo’s administration, TOR had four Managing Directors, including one Acting Managing Director and an Interim Management Committee (ICM).
Despite several attempts, the refinery’s revamp remained unsuccessful during the eight-year administration.
As one of the energy sector agencies frequently in the news, TOR attracted significant attention from industry watchers.
Dr Sulemana, with his expertise, was often consulted by the Ghanaian media on TOR-related issues.
Contrary to January reports that Edmond Kombat had been appointed, Dr Yussif Sulemana has taken the reins as the new Acting Managing Director.
He officially assumed his post earlier today, Monday, with Kofi Tagoe Mocumbi present to hand over the baton.
Scores of refinery workers welcomed Dr Sulemana, and industry watchers are eager to observe his leadership.
Dr Sulemana brings over 15 years of experience in the energy industry, specialising in oil production, oil refinery process systems optimisation and systematic troubleshooting.
His credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, a Master of Science in Management (Oil & Gas), and a Doctor of Business Administration in Energy Management.
Some industry watchers who spoke to this portal stated that they would keep an eye on his leadership due to his past commentaries on the refinery’s operation.
