Former Energy Minister Dr Oteng-Adjei has been named chairman of the Board of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC).
He replaces Energy expert Ato Awhoi who acted in that position over the last few years.
Myjoyonline.com broke the story about the appointment but GNPC sources will not confirm or deny the information at the time, except to say that a formal communication will be made by the Energy ministry.
Correspondence sighted by Myjoyonline.com indicate that the board has been reconstituted by the president. The new board members include Awulae Atibrukusu, Kyeretwie Opoku, Worlanyo Amoah, Abraham Amaliba and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation Alex Mould
Dr Oteng-Adjei returns to public service after he was reshuffled out of government in 2013. He was then the Minister of Environment, Science and Technology.
He had been quiet for several months until a recent car controversy in which he was accused of taking home a plush Lexus vehicle he used when he was Energy Minister.
He however returned the vehicle after vehement media criticism.
