The acting Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Mr. Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, has paid a courtesy call on Her Excellency Virginia Palmer, a former United States Ambassador to Ghana.
The visit, led by the newly appointed Chief Executive, aimed to strengthen collaboration between the NPA and the US Embassy and foster partnerships that benefit Ghana and the United States.
During the meeting, Mr. Tameklo emphasized the importance of enhanced relations between Ghana and the USA, particularly in the downstream petroleum industry.
He cited Authentix, a US-based company providing fuel authentication solutions to the NPA, as a key example of successful business collaboration between the two nations. The fuel authentication programme is crucial in maintaining petroleum product integrity, preventing dilution and adulteration, and ensuring accurate tax revenue recovery from fuel sales.
In response, Ambassador Virginia Palmer reaffirmed the US Embassy’s commitment to assisting Ghana in attracting American investments, strengthening the energy sector, and deepening bilateral cooperation.
The visit marked an important step toward enhancing strategic partnerships, reinforcing Ghana’s role in the global petroleum industry, and paving the way for continued collaboration between both nations.
Accompanying Mr. Tameklo were Deputy Chief Executives Dr. Sheila Addo and Dr. Dramani Bukari, along with Mr. Kodwo Abbiw Jackson -Director of Administration and Insurance, and Mrs. Genevieve Bissue – Head of Protocol and Logistics.
