The Board of Directors of Ghana Oil Company (Goil,) has rendered an apology to President Nana Akufo-Addo after they falsely accused him of breaching procedures in appointing a new head for the company.
An online portal had earlier reported that President Nana Akufo-Addo had appointed Mr. Osei Prempeh as new GOIL CEO and also made fresh appointments to the Forestry Commission and the Ghana Health Service.
Without cross-checking the authenticity of the report, the Board Chairman for Goil, Prof. William Asumaning, issued a statement saying due procedures in the purported appointment of the GOIL CEO were not followed.
Ag. Director of Communications at the Presidency, Mr. Eugene Arhin, responded to the news by indicating that the president has not appointed a new CEO for GOIL.
The Presidency had expected Prof. William Asumaning to have gathered concrete evidence before throwing out a direct challenge to the president.
“One would have hoped, in the interest of best practices, that the issuance of such a statement by Prof. William Asumaning would have been hinged on concrete evidence, in the form of appointment letters, and not mere speculation and conjecture by an online publication. The statement by the Board Chair was unfortunate and completely needless, to say the least”, a portion of the statement read.
In a letter addressed to President Nana Akufo-Addo,a remorseful Prof. William Asumaning noted that the Board of Directors of Goil, regret the erroneous act they have committed.
“To this end, we the members of the Board of Directors of Goil, do hereby, render our sincere apologies to Your Excellency for any embarrassment caused by the Board’s Statement in response to the Ghana Web publication of 24th February 2017”.

this professor would fight in an empty room.
The battle is still the LORD'S
Oh Professor, why didn't you check the authenticity of the alleged Ghana Web publication before issuing a statement. You have indeed embarrassed yourself and should blame yourself for any consequences. Next time, be responsible.
Look, this is the kind of problem that is collapsing this country. The so called are not smart people, infact they just selfish and working for their stomach. It is clear they are not dynamic but ineffective and unpatriotic. They are part of the "mafia" group that are killing this country so fast. What kind of generational leaders do e have now, with no conscience for the por. Infact this people are ***barred word*** and need to be removed immediately. Very ineffective and lazy, this board chairman or whatsoever is NOT a professor and can never be. The chick of it; this is arrant ***barred word*** and totally unacceptable.
This is the nature of our polarized politics. When you're on the other side of the ail, you always reacted negatively against anything from the other side without thinking whether you've the facts or not. It's a big lesson for all Ghanaians regardless. Chances are some of these board members got there with the influence of Mahamah and his appointees; some might have connections to the old regime and might want anything to with this regime. Who can blame them? Political victimization is the nature of our politics and this has blinded our logical sense to think clearly. We react to anything without any official verification. It's good, the board are doing the right thing, admitting the mistake with and official letter of apology. It's the right move worthy of emulation.
The GOIL board must go! They are not working for Ghana. They are there to serve the man (Mahama) who appointed them. A Professor behaving like this? THEY MUST GO!
1di0t.ic Prof. disgracing himself and his board. you must all resign.
