The National Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party, Stephen Ayensu Ntim, has been appointed to serve as the Board Chairman of the National Petroleum Authority.

Ntim takes over the position from Joe Addo-Yobo, who has served as NPA board chairman since 2017.

The NPP Chairman was sworn into office on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, by the Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, at a brief ceremony held at the ministry.

After the ceremony, the Energy Minister took to his Facebook and said, “I charged the new chairman of the downstream regulator to focus on key priorities; strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing operational efficiencies, and ensuring that the NPA operates with the highest standards of integrity and accountability.”

“The National Chairman of my beloved New Patriotic Party, Mr. Ntim, is not new to leadership, and therefore, I have no doubt that he has what it takes to steer the NPA to achieve its objectives for the benefit of all Ghanaians,” Opoku Prempeh added.

Stephen Ntim was elected as the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party after a fifth attempt. He took over from John Boadu, who lost his reelection bid in July 2022.
