President Nana Akufo-Addo has appointed Hassan\u00a0Tampuli\u00a0as a care-taker Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).<\/p>\n
A letter signed by the Energy Minister nominee, Boakye Agyarko, indicated that\u00a0Mr.\u00a0Tampuli would act as the NPA CEO till a substantive one is approved.<\/p>\n
The letter also noted that\u00a0Mr.\u00a0Tampuli was not to \u201ctake decisions that have policy implications until a substantive Governing Board is in place.”<\/p>\n
He has instead directed Mr. Tampuli to\u00a0refer policy related decisions to the Energy Ministry for approval.<\/p>\n
Hassan\u00a0Tampuli\u00a0was the lawyer for Fadi Daboussi, a known New Patriotic Party loyalist who was invited by the BNI for what some said were defamatory comments he had made about former President John Mahama.<\/p>\n
The letter, which copied Moses Asaga, was silent on when it takes effect.<\/p>\n
As far as the substantive CEO is concerned, information gathered by Citi Business News<\/strong> indicated that, a former NPA CEO, John Attafuah, was likely to return to the position.<\/p>\n In April, 2009, Mr. Attafuah was directed by the then John Atta Mills government to proceed on his accumulated leave with Alex Mould taking over from him.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By:\u00a0Delali\u00a0Adogla-Bessa\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Nana Akufo-Addo has appointed Hassan\u00a0Tampuli\u00a0as a care-taker Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).
