President Akufo-Addo has appointed a former Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports in his first term, Perry Okudzeto, and Mrs Linda Asante as Deputy Chief Executive Officers of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).
A statement issued by the Corporate Affairs Department of the NPA said the duo have been confirmed by the Governing Board of the NPA.
“Pursuant to the powers vested in the President under Section 49 (1) of the National Petroleum Authority Act, 2005 (Act 691), the Office of the President in a letter dated 13th January, 2022 communicated the appointment of Mr Perry Okudzeto and Mrs Linda Asante to the position of Deputy Chief Executives respectively of the National Petroleum Authority,” NPA said.
The duo would complement the works of the Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mustapha Hamid in directing the administration of the petroleum regulatory body.
Established in 2005, the NPA has been without deputy CEOs as far as its organogram is concerned.
