But the CEO of GASSOP oil, Kojo Poku said "GNPC is run as a political institution. The government owns 100% shares in GNPC. As long as the Chairman of the NPP is the Chairman of the board we should know everything will be political. I have always asked why we have the Chairman of the GNPC Board as the Chairman of the NPP."
