Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC has taken to his personal Facebook page on March 19, 2024, to announce his recent appointment to the board of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), a state-owned entity.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in a communiqué earlier this week revealed that he has chosen Abronye to serve as a board member at TOR, a decision Abronye seemingly justified by sharing a condensed version of his CV, emphasizing his academic background in law and the oil and gas sector.

In his post, Abronye listed his qualifications as follows:

MBA in Petroleum Economics and Finance from Coventry University, UK

MSc Energy Economics from GIMPA

LLB Hons from KAAF University

LLM in ADR from the University of Ghana

Chartered Energy Economics from the Global Academy of Finance and Management, USA

According to his post, Abronye is also currently pursuing an Advanced LLM in Energy Law at the North Sea Partnership in the Netherlands, University of Groningen.

The appointments to the TOR Board were communicated in a letter dated March 18, 2024, signed by Nana Asante Bediatuo, the Executive Secretary to the president.

The letter, addressed to the Minister for Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, announced an 11-member board, with Mr Leon Kendon Apenteng and Mr Kofi Mocumbi nominated by the president as Board Chair and Managing Director respectively.

The letter instructed the Minister for Energy to take the necessary steps to implement these appointments in accordance with the Companies Act, 2019 (ACT 992) and the Regulations of the Company.
