CEO of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Moses Asaga has been sacked by President Nana Akufo-Addo.

He has been replaced by legal practitioner Hassan Tampuli as care-taker CEO until a substantive CEO is appointed, according to a letter dated 26 January and signed by Energy Minister-designate Boakye Agyarko.

“As a care-taker CEO, you will not take decisions that have policy implications until a substantive Governing Board is in place,” the letter noted.

"You may refer such policy related decisions to the Ministry for prior approval," the letter noted.
