The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has urged the new management of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) to implement strategic measures aimed at revitalizing the organization’s operations.
The GNPC, responsible for overseeing activities in the upstream sector of the petroleum industry, recently appointed a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the corporation.
As part of their courtesy visit during the celebration of his silver jubilee, a delegation from the GNPC, including the new CEO and Board Chairman, paid their respects to the Asantehene.
In his remarks, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II commended their efforts and encouraged the management team to prioritize sustainable measures to enhance the corporation’s operations.
“The President saw potentials in you and brought you back. Ensure to institute projects and measures that would promote operations at the business,” he said.
Otumfuo emphasized that a flourishing business would not only bring economic benefits to the country but also earn commendation for the management.
“GNPC is dear to me and the nation. It is one of the strongest pillars of the country that could help in the development of Ghana,” the Asantehene underscored.
Since 2017, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) has been backing social initiatives using the country’s oil revenues. Over 100 projects, such as educational and healthcare facilities, have been initiated by the GNPC in the Ashanti region alone.
Joseph Abuabu Dadzie, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, reaffirmed GNPC’s dedication to investing in and maintaining these projects in the region.
“The foundation will continue with the projects that we’ve initiated in the region. We will ensure it benefits the youth and people of the Ashanti region,” he said.
