A former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bui Power Authority, Ghana’s second-largest state power generation company, Mr Fred Oware, has been honoured by energynewsafrica.com for contributing to the growth of the only portal dedicated to Ghana and Africa’s energy sector.

Mr Oware was honoured with an artistic portrait of him designed by Infilive Talents at Official Town, a suburb of Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region.

Presenting the portrait to him at the Jubilee House, the seat of government, Michael Creg Afful, Editor of energynewsafrica.com, remarked that Mr Fred Oware has been very supportive of the growth of energynewsafrica.com in diverse ways.

He said before the launching of the portal in 2018, he opened the doors of Bui Power Authority to the team and assisted them financially to launch the portal.

“I remember when we were about launching the portal, we knocked on the doors of the Authority and through your effort, the Authority, through its corporate social responsibility, supported us. And we recall that in the video we produced for the launching, you made us understand that whatever you will do to support the growth of the website, you will do it including referring and encouraging other industry players to visit the website for news in the energy sector.

“Today, by the grace of God and through your effort and other industry players and our team, energynewsafrica.com has reached several people in Africa and beyond. As we speak, people from 155 countries visit the website for news in the energy sector,” Mr Afful narrated.

Creg Afful, who described Mr Oware as someone who is committed to the growth of the portal, said through his effort, the Authority, a few months ago, supported energynewsafrica.com to procure a professional camera to help in the video and photographic materials.

He expressed the gratitude of energynewsafrica.com to Mr Oware for his contribution towards the growth of the portal and wished him well in his new role.

On his part, Mr Fred Oware, who expressed shock by the honour, said he least expected it because he used his office to support energynewsafrica.com for them to deepen information flow in the energy sector.

Mr Oware commended energynewsafrica.com for projecting Ghana and Africa’s energy sector by letting players become aware of what is happening in the energy sector.

He wished the team well and prayed their efforts are recognised globally.
