Former Minister Zongo Development and Inner Cities, Mustapha Hamid has been appointed by President Nana Akufo-Addo as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).
His appointment takes effect from 1 July 2021.
Mr Hamid will be responsible for overseeing all operations in the downstream petroleum sector.
Dr Hamid, aged 50, previously served in the first-term government of President Akufo-Addo as the minister of Information and subsequently as the minister for inner-city and Zongo development.
He also served as the deputy national campaign manager for President Akufo-Addo’s successful second-term bid in 2020 and was in charge of campaign communications.
