President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has appointed Alhassan Tampoli as care-taker Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) Thursday.

He takes over from Mr. Moses Asaga who was CEO in the erstwhile Mahama administration.

This was contained in a statement signed by Energy Minister-designate Boakye Agyarko dated January, 26.

Mr Tampoli is charged to act in that capacity “until a substantive CEO is approved.”

“As a care-taker CEO, you will not take decisions that have policy implications until a substantive Governing Board is in place.”
