700 million barrels of undeveloped oil can transform Ghana’s economy - Kadijah A

The newly appointed Chief Executive of Aker Energy
Ghana, Kadijah Amoah has urged Ghanaians to take
charge of the vast energy resources the nation is
blessed with.

According to her, there is some 700 million
barrels of undeveloped oil on Aker Energy’s
block and adjacent the AGM block which all have
the potential to transform Ghana and its economy.

“For the Ghanaian people, we need to get in
control of our own destiny and it starts with
mastering the development and operation of the
vast energy resources we have. The 700 million
barrels of undeveloped oil in our block and the
adjacent AGM block have the potential to transform
Ghana, not only the economy but also the
competence-base. The latter can also be applied
over time in other sectors such as the renewables
sector,” Kadijah Amoah said.

“I am humbled by this honour, but also glad that
CEO of Aker Energy AS, Håvard Garseth and his
very experienced technical team will continue to
support and safeguard the technical delivery until
all technical knowledge and competence have been
fully transferred to my home country [Ghana],”
she added.

Kadijah Amoah's comments come after she was
promoted as Country Director to now serve as Chief
Executive Officer of Aker Energy Ghana Limited,
effective 4th January 2021.
