The Management of Ghana National Gas Company Limited (Ghana Gas) has noted with deep concern recent social media publications seeking to create the false impression of a feud between the Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Judith Adjobah Blay, and the Board of Directors, chaired by Hon. Kofi Totobi Quakyi, a highly respected statesman and accomplished national figure.
These stories are entirely false and appear to be driven by sinister motives aimed at sowing seeds of discord and manufacturing conflict where none exists.
Management wishes to state categorically that the relationship between the Board and Management is founded on mutual respect, professionalism, trust, and a shared commitment to advancing the strategic objectives of Ghana Gas.
Any suggestion of infighting or discord within the leadership of the Company is therefore baseless, exaggerated, and should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
Management further wishes to clarify that the recently announced staff promotions, which have become the subject of misleading media commentary, involved fifty (50) employees and form part of an ongoing exercise to address long-overdue promotions, career progression, and divisional realignment within the Company. These promotions are the outcome of extensive consultations and deliberations at the management level, undertaken with the appropriate oversight and support of the Board of Directors.
The assertion that Ghana Gas is in a state of chaos exists only in the imagination of individuals who appear determined to undermine the Company's progress for reasons best known to them.
Contrary to these unfounded claims, Ghana Gas continues to record significant operational successes. Notably, production throughput has increased from a historic average of 100 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCF/D) to approximately 120 MMSCF/D. This remarkable achievement has strengthened fuel supply to downstream consumers, enhanced national energy security, and contributed significantly to the stability of Ghana's power sector.
Furthermore, under the leadership of the current Board and Management, sustained improvements in plant availability and operational efficiency have continued to moderate fuel costs for power producers and industrial users across the country. These achievements are clear evidence of a focused and well-managed institution delivering on its mandate.
Management remains firmly committed to working closely with the Board of Directors to uphold the highest standards of transparency, accountability, good corporate governance, and operational excellence. Together, we will continue to advance Ghana Gas' strategic objectives and contribute meaningfully to securing Ghana's energy future in line with the national development agenda.
