GNPC CEO Opoku-Ahweneeh Danquah has resigned
Opoku Danquah in his letter emphasized the importance of support and trust from all stakeholders for GNPC to thrive and fulfill its mandate
Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Opoku-Ahweneeh Danquah has resigned from his position as CEO.
In a letter addressed to the President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the CEO expressed his respect for the office held by the President, his appointer, while announcing his decision to step down from his position at GNPC.
Opoku Danquah, who has been at the helm of GNPC, highlighted his efforts to implement transformative policies aimed at advancing the interests of the nation and propelling GNPC towards sustainable growth and development. He described his tenure as an honor and emphasized his commitment to the evolution of Ghana’s energy sector.
He pointed out that an atmosphere of misinformation and misunderstanding surrounding the transformative policies he championed, made it increasingly untenable for him to continue effectively in his role. Despite his earnest efforts to uphold the integrity and objectives of GNPC, he noted that certain misperceptions have clouded judgment and undermined trust.
Opoku Danquah emphasized the importance of unequivocal support and trust from all stakeholders for GNPC to thrive and fulfill its mandate.
Mr Danquah extended his gratitude to the President of the Republic of Ghana by saying “In the starch that has stiffened my efficacious tenure, the main ingredients have been your astute guidance and the support of the talented team at GNPC. I am truly grateful for the opportunities that I have been afforded.”
Opoku Danquah reassured his commitment to the progress and prosperity of Ghana, standing ready to support any transition efforts as deemed necessary by the administration.
The resignation leaves GNPC facing a period of transition, as stakeholders ponder the future direction of the corporation and the energy sector as a whole.
