Tullow Ghana Limited, in partnership with Accenture, held a graduation and awards ceremony on Wednesday 19th July 2023 to recognise and honour successful participants of the Tullow Supply Chain Academy Programme.

In her opening remarks, Cynthia Lumor, Deputy Managing Director of Tullow Ghana, emphasised Tullow’s commitment to ensuring local supplier development in the oil and gas industry through the various supplier development programmes.

She congratulated all participants on the record time with which they completed the course and recounted how Tullow’s supplier development initiatives, since inception in 2010, have improved the quality and quantity of local businesses’ bid submissions and contracting.

A representative from Accenture, Shiksha Benimadho, recognised the efforts being made by Tullow Ghana and the Petroleum Commission to deliver effective supplier development programmes.

She concluded by commending the Tullow team for investing in creating sustainable livelihoods and for building local capacity in its supply chain system.

Since the inception of its operations in Ghana, Tullow Ghana has always held the belief that the energy sector can be a key driver of the economy and an engine for job creation, and this has been one of the driving forces behind Tullow Ghana’s continuous investment and capacity development in Ghana.

Tullow also recently delivered two innovative supplier development initiatives last year– in June 2022 and November 2022 –where Tullow Ghana concluded a 10-month-long Supplier Finance Readiness Programme and a 6-month-long Tullow Supplier Mentorship Programme respectively.
