Ghana Gas develops employment quota for local people

The Ghana National Gas Company (GNGC), has developed a quota system for employing local people into the company in view of the sacrifices they have made in ensuring the successful completion of the Atuabo gas processing plant.  

The Chief Executive Officer of GNGC, Dr. George Sipa-Yankey, made this known when he presented a 33-seater bus to the Eastern Nzema Traditional Council at Atuabo, in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region, as part of its corporate social responsibility.  

He said two additional buses would be donated to the Western Nzema Traditional Council and the Elderly Home Care Centre, near Ampain, to facilitate their movement and operations.  

He assured communities within its operational area that it would continue to support them with more social infrastructure including, health and educational facilities.  

Dr. Sipa Yankey said funds have been secured for the payment of compensation to landowners whose properties were acquired for the Essiama/Prestea gas pipeline and urged affected persons to confirm their land documents with the Land Valuation Board for payment.  


“So far, 7 million out of 17 million cedis had been paid to affected landowners.  

President of the Council, Awulae Amihere Kpanyili expressed appreciation to the GNGC for the donation and appealed for more support.  

He urged the GNGC to put in the necessary safety measures to protect the people and pledged that the chiefs and people of the traditional area would live in peace and harmony with the management and staff of the company to accelerate development.
