Ghana National Gas Limited Company (Ghana Gas) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening collaboration with the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) following a high-level engagement between the leadership of the two institutions.
Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Gas, Judith Adjobah Blay, led a delegation on a courtesy call to the Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority, Godwin Kudzo Tameklo.
The visit follows an earlier meeting held in August 2025, where both organizations explored opportunities for collaboration aimed at supporting growth and efficiency within Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector.
Discussions during the latest engagement focused on promoting the smooth operation of Ghana Gas and identifying areas of mutual cooperation that could strengthen the delivery of services across the energy value chain.
“Following the meeting we had in August last year, we agreed to meet again and discuss a few more technical issues that have bearing on the work of NPA and Ghana Gas. This is because we serve businesses and sometimes these meetings are very necessary to be held often, so that we can be on the same page as to how we serve these companies that come to us.”
