Chairman of ZEN Petroleum, Dominique Konate expressed his delight to have Paul Twum-Barimah managing the Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Department.

Being a wholly owned Ghanaian Oil Marketing Company, ZEN is always on the lookout for young talented Ghanaians and West Africans to ensure that the downstream petroleum sector in Ghana does not go the same way as other sectors, majority owned and controlled by multi-nationals, he added.

In its four years of existence, ZEN now has offices in Ghana, Mali, Burkina Fasso and Liberia, and is now the largest hydrocarbon services provider to the mines in Ghana.
