The Managing Director of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Jerry Kofi Hinson has resigned from office. 

This was contained in a letter to President  Akufo-Addo on Friday, August 11. 

According to him, his resignation has become necessary due to “unforeseen health circumstances.”

“It has been a privilege, honour and pleasure to serve as the Managing Director for Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) for the past 18 months. Working in partnership with the Board of Directors and Management, we have undertaken the daunting task of identifying a suitable entity to partner with TOR to revamp its operations in a sustainable and profitable way.”

“The process, though long and arduous, has resulted in the selection of a potential partner who needs to be taken through the various approval stages.”

“Regrettably, I am unable to continue in my role as Managing Director due to unforeseen health circumstances. 

“This letter therefore serves as my notice of resignation from the Managing Director’s position effective from an agreed handover/transition period with the Board of Directors,” excerpts of his letter read.

Mr Hinson thus thanked President Akufo-Addo for the opportunity to serve his country. 

“I will like to express my sincere appreciation to you for giving me this unique opportunity to serve my country at this level,” he added.
