Petroleum regulators from the National Petroleum and Regulatory Authority (NPRA) of Sierra Leone are in Ghana to understudy the operations of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).
The focus is on policy administration, regulatory framework, and the technical advancements that have positioned the NPA as a model in the sub-region.
The delegation comprises Ms Wuyah Deen Sucarray, Director of Policy Planning & Coordination, NPRA, and Ms Aminata Margaret Kora, Assistant Manager, Human Resources & Administration, NPRA.
Welcoming the delegation, the Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Mr. Godwin Kudzo Tameklo (Esq.) said it was encouraging to see other countries taking an interest in Ghana’s petroleum management systems, describing it as a testament to the Authority’s progress and effectiveness.
He expressed appreciation for the visit and urged the delegation to adopt best practices that would contribute to the collective growth and development of Africa’s energy sector.
Responding, the leader of the delegation, Ms Wuyah Deen Sucarray, expressed gratitude to the NPA for its openness and willingness to share knowledge.
She commended the Authority’s leadership and emphasized that the insights gained from the visit would enhance their operations and regulatory capacity back home.
Ms Sucarray said the Minister of Trade and Industry of Sierra Leone, Alpha Ibrahim Sesay, and the Chief Executive of NPRA, Chief Brima Baluusa Koroma, would be visiting Ghana later to further cement the ties between Ghana and Sierra Leone.
The Heads of the various technical departments have since taken the team through their operations and the underlying policies.
