Hot SourcePetroleum regulators from Sierra Leone’s National Petroleum and Regulatory Authority (NPRA) are in Ghana to observe and learn from the operations of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA).
The visit focuses on policy administration, regulatory frameworks, and the technical innovations that have established the NPA as a model authority in the sub-region.
The delegation comprises Wuyah Deen Sucarray, Director of Policy Planning & Coordination at NPRA, and Aminata Margaret Kora, Assistant Manager for Human Resources & Administration at NPRA.
Welcoming the visitors, NPA Chief Executive Godwin Kudzo Tameklo expressed delight that other countries were showing interest in Ghana’s petroleum management systems, describing the visit as a testament to the Authority’s progress and effectiveness.
He thanked the delegation for coming and encouraged them to adopt best practices that could support the growth and development of Africa’s energy sector.
In response, Ms Sucarray thanked the NPA for its openness and willingness to share knowledge.
She commended the Authority’s leadership and noted that the insights gained from the visit would strengthen NPRA’s operations and regulatory capacity in Sierra Leone.
Ms Sucarray further revealed that Sierra Leone’s Minister of Trade and Industry, Alpha Ibrahim Sesay, and NPRA Chief Executive, Chief Brima Baluusa Koroma, would also visit Ghana at a later date to further strengthen bilateral ties.
The heads of the NPA’s various technical departments have since guided the delegation through their operations and the policies underpinning them.
