This statement underscores Kirk-Mensah’s deep sense of responsibility towards his role and his unwavering support for the leadership of President Mahama. His words also highlight his dedication to contributing positively to Ghana’s growth, especially in the critical sector of natural gas.

The Ghana National Gas Company Limited, which plays a crucial role in harnessing and managing the country’s natural gas resources, will benefit from Kirk-Mensah’s appointment, as he brings a wealth of knowledge, communication strategies, and a strong regional understanding to the table. His role will be vital in crafting and communicating the company’s policies, vision, and programs to the general public and stakeholders, promoting a transparent and effective narrative around the gas sector.

With Ghana’s growing importance as a key player in Africa’s energy landscape, effective corporate communications are more crucial than ever.
