Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Addo has instituted a seven-member board for the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), the West African nation’s premier refinery.

The refinery has been without a substantive Managing Director and board of directors for several months now.

In October last year, the refinery became the subject of public discourse when 14 top management executives were interdicted for their alleged involvement in product losses which made the refinery heavily indebted to its businesses partners.

TOR is currently being managed by a three-member Interim Management Committee (IMC) which was constituted by the country’s Energy Minister, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, after dismissing the Managing Director, Francis Boateng and his deputy, Ato Morrison.

In a letter signed by Secretary to the President and copied to the Energy Minister, it mentioned the seven-member board as Hon. Dr. Prince Hamidu Armah, Nana Akua Bokuma Prempeh, Professor Albert Ahenkan, Mrs Edith Sapara-Grant, Kamal-Deen Abdulai, Mr Lean Kendon Apenteng and Madam Irene Osei Bonsu.
