If you are a female who is seeking inspiration from a fellow woman who has blazed the trail in excellence then look no further because Salma Okonkwo should be your one-stop-shop for such inspiration that you seek.<\/p>\n

Mrs Salma Okonkwo, the Board Chairman of UBI Group, has emerged as Female Energy Personality of the Year at the Ghana Energy Awards 2019.<\/p>\n

She received
\nthe award for her outstanding performance in Ghana\u2019s energy sector.<\/p>\n

Winning such
\na prestigious award did not come as a surprise to many in the energy sector due
\nto Mrs Okonkwo\u2019s works in the energy industry.<\/p>\n

Mrs Salma Okonkwo is well known for her initiative in establishing the UBI Group which was the first fully integrated oil and gas downstream Ghanaian organisation. <\/p>\n

A fully integrated Ghanaian group that had companies within the group of companies that managed retail stations ,\u00a0 a company managing petroleum tank farms, a company managing oil tanker vessels, and another company managing tanker trucks. The fully integrated <\/p>\n

\u00a0Downstream, UBI Group built enough capacity to attract Puma Energy to make a substantial investment in the Group which allowed two of the companies retails stations and the tank farms to achieve her vision.<\/p>\n

Today the
\nretail arm of the company which was UBI Petroleum is branded Puma Energy
\nleveraging on the technical and financial muscle of the Puma Energy Global
\nBrand.<\/p>\n

The
\n48-year-old entrepreneur thus becomes one of the very few women heading an oil
\nand gas company of such magnitude in Ghana and the West African Sub-region. <\/p>\n

She is now
\nexpanding her reach across Ghana\u2019s energy industry by building what may
\npossibly be one of Africa\u2019s largest solar power farms, calling it Blue Power
\nEnergy.<\/p>\n

Blue Power
\nEnergy is an energy service company specialised in renewable energy. It is
\ngeared towards Ghana and sub-Saharan Africa\u2019s economic growth through providing
\nelectricity by developing a large-scale solar photovoltaic farm to power more
\nthan 60% of Ghana\u2019s land area.<\/p>\n
