Mr Provencal is currently the Technical Director to the Energy Minister, John Peter Amewu.

A statement signed by Deputy Energy Minister, Joseph Cudjoe, on Monday, August 26, requested the Board to take “due note and assess the suitability of Mr. Provencal for the appointment accordingly.”

In a statement hours after the appointment, Chair of the BOST Board, Ekow Hackman said “Pending the assumption of office by the Managing Director, Mr Moses Mensah Assem, the Deputy Managing Director of BOST, will act as Managing Director.

”The Board wishes to assure all stakeholder and the general public that the company operations will continue uninterrupted.”
