This was contained in a statement issued and signed by the Speaker, Municipal Youth Parliament of the Nzema-East Municipal Assembly, Mr. Jonas Kabutey and copied to Ghana News Agency (GNA), in Axim.
While, congratulating the President-elect on his recent election victory, the statement noted that “Ghana Gas as a state agency, played a crucial role in the country’s energy sector and we believe that an Nzema CEO would bring a unique perspective and understanding of the local context to the table.”

It said, “Dr Nkrumah’s vision for Ghana’s development and self-reliance continued to inspire us and appointing an Nzema as CEO of Ghana Gas would be a meaningful way to honour his memory.”
