Ghana National Gas Company has launched its maiden Senior Staff Association Week at the company’s headquarters in Accra.

The Senior Staff Association week is under the theme: “Institutionalizing the Gas Sector in Ghana for Socio-Economic development – The role of the Ghana Gas Worker”

Dr. Ben K.D Asante, Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Gas, expressed gratitude to the association for its unwavering support in carrying out the company’s vision.

“I can assure you till date I have and continue to enjoy the full support and collaboration of the Senior Staff Association in carrying out the vision for this company. We also brought to bear the indigenization of our workforce.” Dr. Asante said.

Dr. Asante also charged the Association with considering not only the welfare of the employees, but also the welfare of the company.

Hon. Mohammed Amin Adam, Deputy Minister of Energy, emphasized that the ministry is developing a National Energy Transition plan for the country.

“The ministry of energy under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh has embarked on a process to develop a national energy transition plan for Ghana in response to the global movement towards Net Zero emission. Natural Gas is therefore being considered by the government as a transition fuel which will continue to be a part of our integrated energy industry.” He said
