Minister of Petroleum Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah has given the assurance that bold steps have been taken to drive the oil, gas and power industry forward and emphasised Ghana was on its way to prosperity with its oil wealth.
Mr Buah made the comment when he opened the 2016 Ghana Summit – Oil, Gas & Power event recently held in Accra.
