The Ghana Gas Board has welcomed Charlotte Osei as a new member, following fresh appointments by President John Mahama. President Mahama appointed nine board members to lead Ghana National Gas Limited Company (GNGLC) with strategic oversight.
Veteran public servant Kofi Totobi Quakyi chairs the board, bringing decades of governance experience to the leadership team.
Other board members include professionals from politics, public service, and traditional leadership backgrounds.
Notably, MPs Nasira Afrah Gyekye and Blay Nyameke Armah have been appointed to serve on the board.
The full board includes: Kofi Totobi Quakyi (Chairman), Judith Adjobah Blay (Acting CEO), and Emmanuel Vincent.
Additional members are Nasira Afrah Gyekye (MP), Charlotte Osei, Samuel Kwame Borlu, and Awulae Agyefi Kwame II.
Baba Abdul Jamal Adama and Blay Nyameke Armah (MP) complete the nine-member board lineup.
In a statement on April 30, Ghana Gas welcomed the appointments and expressed optimism about the board’s future leadership.
“We look forward to working with the new Board to enhance operations and ensure quality,” the statement said.
The statement also emphasized the board’s role in promoting peaceful coexistence with local communities.
However, Charlotte Osei’s appointment marks a return to public service after her tenure as Electoral Commission Chairperson.
The Ghana Gas Board is expected to strengthen accountability and drive transformation across the state-owned energy company.
Moreover, at the inauguration, Energy Minister John Jinapor urged the board to lead with integrity and national purpose.
He stressed Ghana Gas’s key role in industrial growth and national development through gas-powered energy solutions.
Also, Minister Jinapor added that the ministry aims to strengthen regulatory and financial frameworks for gas sector sustainability.
“As the energy transition accelerates, Ghana Gas must take a leading role,” Minister Jinapor stated at the ceremony.
Furthermore, he encouraged the board to focus on operational efficiency, financial discipline, and constructive community relations.
The appointments signal the Mahama administration’s broader effort to revamp leadership in state-owned enterprises.
With a diverse and experienced team, the Ghana Gas Board is poised to shape the company’s next growth chapter.
