The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) has announced the appointment of Mr Kwame Ntow Amoah as its new acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO), replacing Edward Abambire Bawa who has been reassigned to GOIL PLC after serving as an acting CEO of the corporation for less than a month.
Mr Amoah brings over 25 years of experience to the table in the oil and gas sector, having served as a Deputy Chief of GNPC in charge of Commercial and Corporate Services between 2016 and 2017.
In 2017, Mr Amoah was reassigned to the Ministry of Energy, currently Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, and held the position of Director of Petroleum.
Besides, he has served as chairman and member of various national, international,
and industrial boards and committees.
He has played a pivotal role in international arbitration cases involving Ghana.
His contributions include serving as Technical Advisor for Ghana in the Maritime Boundary Case, which the country won on September 23, 2017.
His efforts have led to securing significant investments, savings, and
financing for both GNPC and the country.
He played a key role in attracting investments leading to the exploration successes that established Ghana as a commercial oil production province.
He was also instrumental in securing approximately US$7 billion in investment for the Sankofa Oil and Gas Development Project backed by US$700 million in partial risk guarantees from the World Bank.
He holds an MBA from IMD, Switzerland, and a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) degree in Economics and Statistics from the University of Ghana.
He has also participated in various international leadership and management training programmes, as well as specialised courses in energy and petroleum management.
In a statement issued by Eric Pwadura, Manager Corporate Affairs, GNPC extended its heartfelt congratulations to Mr Amoah on his appointment and looked forward to his leadership in advancing the strategic vision of the corporation.
“We are confident his expertise and dedication will drive GNPC’s continued growth and success,” said Eric Pwadura.
