As part of ongoing efforts to attract both local and international investors to Ghana’s transformative Petroleum Hub project, the Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation (PHDC), Dr. Toni Aubynn, has emphasized Ghana’s unique advantages—particularly in the Jomoro area—as a premier destination for investment.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen, Dr. Aubynn pointed to Ghana’s strong democratic track record, skilled workforce, and strategic geographic location as key pillars supporting investor confidence.
“Investors are constantly seeking safe and stable environments for their capital, and Ghana offers exactly that,” he noted. “For over three decades, we have enjoyed peaceful democratic transitions, which foster a stable and investor-friendly atmosphere. Moreover, our human capital is top-notch—Ghanaians are highly sought after across global industries.”
Dr. Aubynn highlighted the sheer scale and ambition of the Petroleum Hub project, which includes three refineries, five petrochemical plants, tank farms, and jetties. He described it as a capital-intensive infrastructure initiative with enormous potential to attract significant investment.
“The opportunities this project presents are immense and should capture the attention of both local and international investors,” he said. “While no country’s infrastructure is perfect, Ghana’s is comparatively advanced within the region, with continuous improvements being made in power supply, roads, and other essential sectors.”
Responding to skepticism about his professional background, Dr. Aubynn rejected claims that his expertise is confined to the minerals sector. He affirmed his extensive experience in the oil and gas industry and expressed confidence in his leadership of the PHDC.
“I remain committed to providing the visionary leadership required to bring this ambitious project to life,” he stated. “Together with my deputies and the dedicated PHDC team, we are poised to drive the success of the Petroleum Hub, which is projected to create over 800,000 jobs upon completion.”
