The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has been named the 2025 Innovative Petroleum Regulatory Agency in Africa at the 6th Africa Public Sector Conference & Awards (APSCA 2025), held in Cape Town, South Africa.
The NPA outperformed other agencies in Ghana and across the continent to claim the accolade. The conference was held under the theme: “Innovation in Africa’s Public Sector: Building a Digitally Driven, Sustainable & Integrated Continent.”
Delivering a speech on his behalf, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Madam Shamima Muslim read remarks from the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, who said, “Nation-building is never finished. Rather, it is a relay, and we are now the runners carrying the baton.”
He added, “If we fail to reform, we risk breaking this relay. But if we succeed, we will honour the sacrifices of those before us and build a future that our children will be proud to inherit.”
Mr Debrah noted that the APSCA 2025 theme aligns closely with Ghana’s ongoing reform agenda under President Mahama’s Resetting Ghana Agenda for Jobs.
APSCA serves as a platform for accountability and innovation, encouraging African countries to embrace the digital revolution.
Initiatives such as Kenya’s eCitizen, Rwanda’s Irembo, and Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy have already transformed public service delivery across the continent.
Mr Akin Naphtal, Group Publisher of Public Sector Global Magazine, described APSCA 2025 as “a platform to ignite transformative dialogue.”
He added, “When we brand with purpose, communicate with truth, and innovate with technology, we don’t just transform government; we transform lives.”
The conference also featured an Exhibition Pavilion and Continental Innovation Spotlight, highlighting pioneering solutions from ministries, state agencies, and private sector innovators.
