Before this news emerged, there were rumours that Randy Abbey was set to be appointed to head the corporation.

The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation is Ghana’s National Oil Company.

Established in 1983 by PNDC Law 64, it supports the government's objective of providing an adequate and reliable supply of petroleum products and reducing the country's dependence on crude oil imports by developing its own petroleum resources.

The corporation, which started operations in 1985, is a partner in all petroleum agreements in Ghana.
