The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Jinapor, has sworn in a newly constituted Governing Board for the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC).
The board, chaired by Prof. Joseph Oteng-Adjei, was inaugurated on Tuesday, July 1, 2025.
It is tasked with providing strategic leadership and direction as GNPC continues to carry out its mandate in Ghana’s upstream petroleum sector.
In a brief address, Mr. Jinapor said the appointment forms part of the government’s broader agenda to reposition GNPC for improved operational efficiency, enhanced investment potential, and long-term energy security.
He also revealed that the government is currently reviewing the GNPC Act (PNDC Law 64) to align with current industry realities and international best practices.
According to the minister, this reform comes at a crucial time, as the country looks to tackle declining oil production and reposition GNPC to seize emerging opportunities within the petroleum value chain.
