Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Edudzi Kudzo Tameklo, a renowned legal practitioner, as the new CEO of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).
NPA is the regulatory body of the downstream petroleum industry in the West African nation.
His appointment was contained in a press release issued by the Presidency on Friday, January 17.
Tameklo, currently the legal director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has been a key figure in the party’s legal matters and a frequent face on Ghanaian TV stations.
As a seasoned lawyer, Tameklo has gained substantial experience in litigation, representing clients in high-profile cases involving immovable property law, oil and gas law, and complex commercial transactions.
His expertise in natural resource law, intellectual property law, and commercial law will undoubtedly serve him well in his new role at the NPA.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, January 18, Mr Tameklo expressed his heartfelt gratitude to President Mahama for the opportunity to serve in this capacity.
He pledged to work diligently to justify the trust placed in him.
“I am deeply honoured by this appointment and will put my best foot forward to deliver on the confidence reposed in me,” he stated, assuring Ghanaians of his readiness to meet the demands of his new role.
