Ghana’s petroleum downstream regulator, National Petroleum Authority’s (NPA) CEO, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, has been re-elected as President of the African Refiners and Distributors Association (ARDA) for a second term in office during ARDA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Cape Town, South Africa, which ended on Friday, April 26, 2024.
Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid was unanimously endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Association, following his renomination by the Executive Secretary, Anibor O. Kraga.
He was elected last year during the ARDA WEEK and has steered the continental body to achieve its strategic objectives.
Over the period under review, he led ARDA to improve its presence and visibility by securing key continental and global energy platforms to advocate for the inclusion and participation of the African downstream in the global energy transition conversations.
These global platforms have helped to secure strategic partnerships and alliances.
The leadership of Dr Abdul-Hamid also secured financial stability for the association through an improved membership drive with dues payment and sponsorships from strategic partners.
He also initiated structural reforms in the organisation to improve the inclusion and working conditions of staff at the secretariat of the association.
Dr. Abdul-Hamid will serve his last one year term.
