President John Mahama has appointed Kingsley Awuah Darko as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR).
A statement signed by the Chief of Staff said Mr Awuah Darko “has been asked to take over responsibility for the management of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR). Mr. Awuah Darko who is also the Acting Managing Director of BOST takes over from Dr. Alphone Kwao Dorcoo who has been reassigned to the Ministry of Petroleum.”
Mr. Boateng welcomed the company’s new CEO on behalf of employees , saying “we as workers we welcome him and we as workers will say that we have gotten somebody who will ensure that our plant runs 24/7 without any shut down. We are also welcoming Awuah Darko and also telling him that he should be up to task.”
Workers of TOR have over the years complained about the style of managers at the refinery which they believe rendered the refinery non functional for years.
