Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>The statement said that the award was in recognition of GNPC\u2019s leadership in ensuring the timely completion of three key projects (Jubilee, TEN and Sankofa fields) on schedule and on budget.<\/p>\n<p>It said the event was organized and conferred by OtherWays Management and Consulting International Limited.<\/p>\n<p>The statement noted that on Thursday, November 30th, GNPC received The Industry Leadership Award \u2013 Petroleum, at the first Ghana Energy Awards, held in Accra, under the theme: Energy for National Development: 60years and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>It said the
