Liberal Corporates, a group of young–minded individuals who believe in improving the lives and the future of the Ghanaian youth has congratulated Dr. K.K Sarpong on his appointment as CEO of the Ghana National Petroleum Authority (GNPC) this week.
In a press statement, the group expressed its satisfaction with Dr.K.K Sarpong’s appointment and affirmed its belief in his competence for the role, citing his track record over the years in diverse industries.
“We send warm felicitations to you on your appointment to one of the most crucial positions in Ghana’s oil industry, we have no doubt in your ability to deliver at GNPC, based on your previous exploits at Cocoa Board and TOR,” the group said.
The group further commended the President, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo for making such an appointment at a time when the oil industry, an industry that has earned the country over $3.2 billion from 2011 – 2015 according to the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC), is going through a challenging phase.
“Mr. President, we want to use this opportunity to laud your decision to appoint Dr. K.K Sarpong as CEO of GNPC, we are confident that if your appointments follow similar considerations, Ghana will make giant strides towards development and our socio-economic challenges will be a thing of the past,” they added.
