Management of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and the Senior Staff Union (SSU) have thrown their weight behind the CEO of the Corporation, Mr. Opoku Ahweneeh Danquah in the face of attacks on his leadership.
There have been reports suggesting confusion within the corporation.
According to reports, the CEO of the corporation, Mr. Ahweneeh Danquah sanctioned some internal transfers contrary to the employment mobility and transfer policy of the corporation.
The reports also suggested that the CEO’s leadership style is causing financial loss to the corporation.
But the Senior Staff Union (SSU) of GNPC in a statement has dispelled the claims.
The union says it firmly backs Mr. Ahweneeh Danquah, in his “stellar” leadership, and is appalled by “the unsubstantiated publications.”
The union noted that the Executive body of the Senior Staff Union has not “received any complaint or grievance whatsoever from any person or group regarding the conduct of our Chief Executive. ”
A statement issued by the Corporate Affairs department of the corporation said contrary to reports, “there is currently industrial harmony, and the prevailing atmosphere in the corporation is one of calmness.”
It said Mr. Danquah has brought on board some positive energy to the operations of GNPC and is determinedly steering the corporation in the right direction.
“There is indeed a general sense of hope and great expectations amongst staff,” it added.
Contrary to reports that the CEO has provided misleading information about the finances of GNPC and unprofessional conduct, the union said he has “instituted cost-saving measures and improved capacity building for staff in key areas to upgrade their knowledge and competencies to help GNPC execute its mandate as the National Oil Company of Ghana.”
