This book also addresses the misconceptions about Ghana's oil potential and highlights the importance of integrity and hard work in achieving success. For future generations, this memoir offers a glimpse into the complexities of oil exploration in Ghana and a testament to the power of resilience and divine grace. Join me as I reflect on my life's path, from a fearful child to a leader in Ghana's oil industry.
