BOST Energies Marks Leadership Transition as Bondzie Moves to Energy Commission, Acheampong Elevated to DMD

As BOST Energies Limited Company advances its post-rebrand trajectory, the company has marked a consequential leadership transition: Deputy Managing Director Adwoa Serwaa Bondzie exits for the national regulatory stage at the Energy Commission of Ghana, while long-serving executive Salifu Nat Acheampong steps up to reinforce continuity at the operational core.

Accra | 16 February 2026 — BOST Energies Limited Company on Monday staged what was less a farewell and more a hinge moment in its corporate evolution, formally sending off its Deputy Managing Director, Ms. Adwoa Serwaa Bondzie, and ushering in Mr. Salifu Nat Acheampong as her successor.

The ceremony, held in Accra, followed Ms. Bondzie’s appointment by John Dramani Mahama as Executive Secretary of the Energy Commission of Ghana. Her elevation to the national regulatory helm comes at a time of structural recalibration across Ghana’s energy architecture, and closes a chapter at BOST Energies that has been defined by transition and institutional redefinition.

Bondzie’s tenure coincided with the company’s pivot from its legacy identity as the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company to BOST Energies, a rebranding and strategic reset designed to position the state-owned downstream player within a broader, transition-aware energy marketplace. Internally, executives credit her with reinforcing an operating culture anchored in discipline, performance standards, staff welfare and interdepartmental cohesion, guardrails that management say have helped steady the company through a period of market volatility and policy realignment.

Managing Director Mr. Afetsi Awoonor described her departure as “bittersweet,” characterising it as a loss to the company but a strategic gain for the wider power sector. The subtext was unmistakable: the regulator is gaining an executive with lived operational experience in Ghana’s downstream logistics and storage ecosystem, a background likely to inform regulatory oversight with practical industry insight.

In her remarks, Bondzie framed BOST Energies as “home,” signalling both institutional loyalty and continuity of interest. She pledged to remain invested in the company’s trajectory even as she assumes stewardship responsibilities at the Commission, where grid reliability, licensing discipline and transition governance are expected to dominate the policy agenda in the coming cycle.

Stepping into the Deputy Managing Director role is Mr. Salifu Nat Acheampong, a long-serving executive whose career at BOST Energies spans more than a decade. His appointment represents an internal elevation rather than an external recruitment, reinforcing a pattern of leadership continuity within the firm.

Acheampong most recently served as Executive Technical Liaison to the Managing Director, advising on strategic coordination and cross-functional execution. Prior to that, he led Corporate Communications and External Affairs from 2013, overseeing stakeholder engagement, brand positioning and media relations at a time when public scrutiny of state energy enterprises intensified.

His academic portfolio reflects a blend of communications, diplomacy and energy transition training: a Master of Arts in Mass Communications from the University of Leicester; a postgraduate diploma in Diplomacy from the University of Nottingham; a Postgraduate Certificate in Education from Nottingham Trent University; and an Executive Graduate Certificate in Managing Energy Transition from the University of Texas.

In brief remarks, Acheampong expressed gratitude to the President for the appointment and pledged full alignment with the Managing Director and the board’s strategic direction. The emphasis was on collaboration and execution, themes likely to resonate as BOST Energies continues to balance commercial performance, infrastructure stewardship and its emerging green transition mandate.

For BOST Energies, the ceremony was not merely ceremonial. It underscored the permeability between Ghana’s state energy enterprises and its regulatory institutions, and highlighted a leadership bench shaped by both operational grounding and policy fluency.

As Bondzie transitions to the regulator and Acheampong assumes operational command support, the company’s message was calibrated and clear: continuity in culture, reinforcement in strategy, and steady hands at a time when Ghana’s energy sector is being asked to do more with less, and to do it transparently.
