National Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Stephen Ayensu Ntim, has been appointed as the Board Chairman of the National Petroleum Authority.
Ntim succeeds Joe Addo-Yobo, who has held the position of NPA board chairman since 2017.
The NPP Chairman was inaugurated into office on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, by the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, during a brief ceremony at the ministry.
After the ceremony, the Energy Minister took to his Facebook and said, “I charged the new chairman of the downstream regulator to focus on key priorities; strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing operational efficiencies, and ensuring that the NPA operates with the highest standards of integrity and accountability.”
“The National Chairman of my beloved New Patriotic Party, Mr. Ntim, is not new to leadership, and therefore, I have no doubt that he has what it takes to steer the NPA to achieve its objectives for the benefit of all Ghanaians,” Opoku Prempeh added.
Stephen Ntim assumed the role of National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party following his successful election, marking his fifth attempt. He succeeded John Boadu, who was unsuccessful in his reelection bid in July 2022.
