Ghana’s oil and gas infrastructure expert and Chief Executive Officer of Ghana National Gas Company, Dr Ben K.D Asante, grabbed two prestigious awards at the 7th edition of the Ghana Energy Awards 2023 held recently in Accra, the capital of Ghana.

Dr. Asante received the ‘Energy Transition Most Valuable Player (MVP)’ and the ‘CEO of the Year (Petroleum category)’ awards.
