The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has commenced its annual Executive Committee (EXCO) retreat, aimed at reviewing the Authority’s performance in 2025 and setting strategic priorities for 2026.
The retreat, which began on Monday, January 19, brings together senior management to assess achievements, identify challenges, and plan for improved service delivery across the petroleum sector.
In his opening remarks, NPA Chief Executive Mr. Godwin Kudzo Tameklo praised the Authority’s performance over the past year, while urging the team to remain focused and collaborative in the months ahead.

“The work we accomplished in 2025 was commendable, but there is always room for improvement. I am confident that 2026 can be even better if we remain united and focused on our objectives,” he said.
Mr. Tameklo emphasised the need for teamwork and mutual accountability, noting that the success of the Authority depends on collective effort.
“We must be each other’s keeper. Our strength lies in collaboration, peer review, and constructive feedback. Let’s continue to support one another as we work towards achieving the goals of the Authority,” he added.

The retreat also provides an opportunity for the NPA leadership to benchmark performance across directorates, share best practices, and address operational challenges identified in the previous year.
According to Mr. Tameklo, such exercises are crucial for sustaining efficiency and improving regulatory oversight in Ghana’s petroleum sector.
“Peer review is not just about critique; it is about learning from one another, raising standards, and ensuring that the Authority delivers on its mandate,” he explained.

The EXCO retreat is expected to conclude later this week, with participants outlining key initiatives for 2026, including enhanced regulatory oversight, improved stakeholder engagement, and innovative strategies to strengthen Ghana’s petroleum sector.
“Our aim is to make 2026 a landmark year in terms of performance, professionalism, and results. Together, we can achieve this,” Mr. Tameklo concluded
