The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Dr Dramani Bukari Ecomog, has died in London after a short illness.
His death has been confirmed through social media tributes by some government officials and members of the governing party, who expressed condolences to his family and associates.
Dr Ecomog was reportedly in London when he passed away. However, details about the illness that preceded his death and the circumstances surrounding it had not been made public as of press time.
His death comes as a loss to the NPA and the wider public sector, where he served as a senior official responsible for supporting the Authority’s mandate in regulating Ghana’s downstream petroleum industry.
Tributes were expected to continue to pour in from colleagues, political associates, public officials and others who worked with him as news of his death spread.
The NPA had not, at the time of reporting, issued detailed information on the circumstances surrounding his passing.
Further details, including arrangements for his funeral and burial, are expected to be announced by his family and the NPA.
