In a significant leadership transition, Mr. Edward Abambire Bawa has emerged as the focal point of GOIL PLC’s renewed vision for growth and innovation, following the approval of a new Board of Directors at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held in Accra.
Appointed as both the Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. Bawa brings to the role nearly two decades of rich experience in the energy sector, spanning policy, public service, and executive leadership. A widely respected energy expert, his appointment signals a strategic shift in GOIL’s trajectory, aimed at delivering increased shareholder value and cementing the company’s position as a leader in Ghana’s energy market.
Under the new nine-member board, chaired by seasoned executive Nana Philip Archer, Mr. Bawa stands at the helm of management, tasked with not only sustaining the company’s momentum but also identifying areas for innovation and strategic realignment. His comments following the board’s endorsement made clear his focus on profitability and shareholder satisfaction.
“We are committed to improving shareholder value and increasing dividend payments—issues that matter deeply to every shareholder,” Mr. Bawa affirmed. “We will not hesitate to revise our strategies where necessary to build upon the successes of the previous management.”
The shareholders, many of whom joined the meeting both virtually and in person, gave their full endorsement to the new board, which also includes distinguished professionals such as Dr. Thomas Kofi Manu, Dr. Evelyn Lamisi Asuah, Mr. Sylvester Kotey, and others.
As the previous board formally handed over to the newly constituted leadership, all eyes are now on Edward Abambire Bawa, the man at the center of GOIL’s new chapter, poised to drive transformation and long-term growth for Ghana’s leading oil marketing company.
