He pointed out that an atmosphere of misinformation and misunderstanding surrounding the transformative policies he championed, made it increasingly untenable for him to continue effectively in his role.
He said despite his earnest efforts to uphold the integrity and objectives of GNPC, certain misperceptions have clouded judgment and undermined trust.
Mr Opoku-Ahweneeh emphasised the importance of unequivocal support and trust from all stakeholders for GNPC to thrive and fulfill its mandate.
Mr Opoku-Ahweneeh extended his gratitude to President Akufo-Addo saying, “In the starch that has stiffened my efficacious tenure, the main ingredients have been your astute guidance and the support of the talented team at GNPC. I am truly grateful for the opportunities that I have been afforded.”
Mr Opoku-Ahweneeh reassured his commitment to the progress and prosperity of Ghana, standing ready to support any transition efforts as deemed necessary by the administration.
The resignation leaves GNPC facing a period of transition, as stakeholders ponder the future direction of the corporation and the energy sector as a whole.
