President of the Republic of Ghana, H. E. Nana Akufo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will, today, August 19, 2020, cut the sod for the construction of the operational headquarters of the country’s national oil company, GNPC, in Takoradi in the Western Region.
President Akufo-Addo, when he was the flag-bearer of the then opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), promised to relocate the headquarters of GNPC to the Western Region, the oil region of the country.
Currently, GNPC has its headquarters located in Tema, Ghana’s industrial hub.
During his ‘Thank You’ tour of the Western Region in 2017, President Akufo-Addo promised the chiefs and people of the region that all his campaign promises would be fulfilled.
The government has, therefore, acquired some acres of land close to the Ghana Secondary Technical School in Takoradi to commence the construction of offices and ancillary facilities to make them fully operational in the Region.
