He is calling for bold innovation, stronger collaboration and a renewed national commitment to building local competence.
Delivering opening remarks at the 2025 Local Content Conference and Exhibition in Takoradi, Mr Amoah described GNPC as the cornerstone of Ghana’s exploration and production future, stressing that the Corporation’s focus on research, technology and data-driven exploration is positioning it to play an even greater role in the nation’s energy story.
