Leading innovations and driving growth as Ag. CEO of GNPC Ghana

04/09/2026

Africa Oil Week (AOW) 2026 has come to a close in Accra after three days of very engaging conversations on investment, exploration and Africa’s energy future.

I'm happy to have had the opportunity to highlight a key consideration that will shape our upstream future and that is the need for Ghana to compete for capital. The thinking is simple: while our petroleum potential matters, investors also have choices. Attracting such investment will therefore require predictability, competitive project economics, timely decision-making and partnerships that deliver fair value to both investors and Ghana.

Government, GNPC, our regulators and industry all have a role to play in creating that environment and turning opportunities into viable projects.

Relatedly, the signing of the MoU on the South Deepwater Tano Block alongside the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, and , therefore, comes as a welcome development.

On the sidelines of the conference, I also led GNPC's direct engagement with a number of major industry players in B2B meetings on Ghana’s opportunities and areas for potential collaboration.

has ended, but these conversations must now translate into investment, exploration, development and ultimately production.

Thanks to everyone who engaged with us throughout the week.

Yesterday, we held GNPC’s 3rd Annual General Meeting under the theme “40 Years of Resilience”, reflecting on our performance in 2025 and the work ahead.

Despite a challenging operating environment, we made progress in stabilising production, strengthening our gas business, advancing exploration and improving our financial performance. We also worked with our partners to secure Petroleum Agreement extensions that have unlocked US$3.5 billion in investment over the next three years.

As we mark four decades of GNPC, our focus is firmly on what comes next: restoring production growth, expanding gas commercialisation, accelerating operatorship capability and unlocking new resources for Ghana.

I am grateful to the Honourable Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, our Board, Management, staff, partners and stakeholders for their continued commitment. There is still much work to be done, and we are getting on with it.

It goes without saying that clean surroundings are critical to protecting public health and preserving our environment. Creating safer communities is therefore a responsibility we all share.

This morning, I was pleased to join Management and staff of GNPCGhana, together with the Tema Metropolitan Assembly and Zoomlion Ghana, to participate in the nationwide clean-up exercise in response to H.E. President John Dramani Mahama's call following the recent floods.

Caring for our environment is not something we do only on designated days. For us at GNPC, and through initiatives such as EcoMotion and our broader sustainability agenda, we continue to promote environmental responsibility and encourage our people to make a positive impact in the communities where we operate.

My appreciation goes to everyone who participated in this important exercise, and I encourage all to make this a part of our everyday habit.

Together, and through small but consistent actions, we can build cleaner, safer and healthier communities for ourselves and generations to come.

Ghana First!

It was a humbling moment to join the UPSA Law School to honour Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata at the 2026 Honorific Lecture & Award.

Mr. Tsikata’s contribution to GNPC and to Ghana’s petroleum sector is remarkable. His leadership during the early years of the Corporation helped lay the foundation for the industry we have today.

At a time when Ghana was still exploring its potential, he led efforts that positioned the country to pursue offshore oil and gas development and build the institutional strength needed to support it.

As we continue our work to sustain production, expand our gas business, and advance new opportunities such as the Voltaian Basin, it is important to recognize the foundations on which we stand.

This occasion reminds us that progress is built over time, through leadership, vision, and service.

We extend our best wishes to the legend.

Ahead of the Eid Al Fitr break, I had the privilege of paying a courtesy call on the National Chief Imam, His Eminence Sheikh Dr. Osman Nuhu Sharubutu.

It was a warm engagement that served an opportunity to convey our Eid greetings while expressing appreciation for his continued prayers and guidance for the nation and for our work at GNPC.

As the National Oil Company, we recognise that beyond the technical work we do, unity, faith, and collective support remain important as we continue our efforts to sustain production, advance exploration, and build capacity for the future.

I am grateful for his kind words and prayers, and for reminding us that national progress is best achieved together.

This week, I had the pleasure of welcoming a technical delegation from Petrobras to GNPCGhana for a focused, working engagement on how we can deepen cooperation between our two institutions.

Our relationship with Petrobras goes back many years and this visit builds on that history. This, however, is more about the present and the future. It is about the opportunity for practical collaboration, shared priorities, and technical discussions for mutual benefit.

This week, our teams are exchanging views on Ghana’s upstream landscape, operatorship, production optimization, marginal fields, and longer-term exploration opportunities, including our work in the Voltaian Basin all in our bid to create long-term value for Ghana's oil and gas industry.

I believe this is a unique opportunity as national oil companies to learn from one another as we navigate an increasingly complex energy sector for growth.

I look forward to the outcomes of the week and to where this renewed engagement can lead.

Last week in Takoradi, I had the privilege of joining colleagues, partners and industry leaders at the 2025 Local Content Conference & Exhibition ( ); a platform that continues to shape Ghana’s petroleum story.

In my remarks, I shared a message that is deeply personal to me; reminding all that local content is not just about percentages but about people. It is about competence, capital, and innovation coming together to create real opportunities for Ghanaians.

At GNPCGhana, we are working to make that vision tangible through our ongoing work in the Voltaian Basin Project, the completion of the GNPC Research & Technology Centre, and the frameworks we’re building to empower local suppliers and partners.

I left Takoradi inspired by the energy, collaboration, and shared ambition in the conversations we had. I’m certain that together, we can redefine local content and revitalize our upstream sector.
