President Akufo-Addo has appointed the former Ghanaian diplomat Edward Boateng as managing director of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to the forefront of the transformation of the oil refinery sector.
Boateng resumed office at the Tema Oil Refinery at a time when workers at the state institution have been up in arms against the former management of the refinery for what they say is gross mismanagement of the organization.
Boateng served as the 15th ambassador of the Republic of Ghana to the People’s Republic of China with concurrent accreditation to the Republic of Mongolia and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea from June 2017 to November 2020.
The Ghana Entrepreneurs Foundation honored Edward Boateng as Ghana’s Most Outstanding Ambassador for the years 2018 and 2019.
He led Ghana’s mission in China to win recognition for it as the Outstanding Ghanaian Embassy for 2018. Boateng was also recognized by the United Nations Permanent Representative in China as one of the most hard-working and diligent ambassadors during his term abroad.
