Tullow Oil Plc has appointed oil magnate Roald Goethe as an Independent Non-Executive Director (NED) of Tullow with effect from February 24, 2023.
“Roald is a highly experienced oil and gas executive with extensive commercial knowledge of the energy industry in Africa including business development, M&A, and in oil markets, specifically hedging, financing and trading,” a Tullow statement said this week.
According to the oil company, Mr. Goethe is a long-term supporter and shareholder of Tullow, holding c.22 million shares.
“He is familiar with Tullow’s strategy and aligned with the company’s commitments as a trusted partner to its host nations in Africa,” the stement said.
Tullow said Mr. Goethe will stand for re-election to the Board at the Annual General Meeting planned in May 2023.
Mr. Phuthuma Nhleko, Chairman of Tullow Oil, said: “I am delighted to welcome Roald to the Board of Tullow.
“He has proven skills as a business builder in Africa, with valuable practical experience in country on matters such as financing, trading, and resolving complex commercial issues.
“He has an excellent understanding of Tullow’s business and vision, and he will provide a unique commercial and entrepreneurial perspective to Tullow’s Board, which will help us to pursue our long-term strategy.”

Deputy National Women Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mimi Duah, has openly declared her support for Mavis Hawa Koomson as the next National Women’s Organiser of the party.
In a statement endorsing Hawa Koomson’s candidature, Ms Duah outlined four key reasons why she believes the former MP and Minister of State is best placed to lead the party’s women’s wing.
According to her, Hawa Koomson is a motherly figure who rose from the grassroots and is widely noted for her forgiving nature and ability to foster unity.
“She is a true grassroots mother who easily forgives, fosters unity, provides guidance and arbitrates to ensure all aggrieved party women are brought on board to ensure a unified women’s wing,” she stated.
Ms Duah also pointed to Hawa Koomson’s vast experience, having served as a Constituency Women’s Organiser, Member of Parliament and Minister of State, noting that the experience positions her to provide effective leadership as National Women’s Organiser.
She further described Hawa Koomson as capable of making the women’s wing resourceful, through her extensive network and business contacts, to lobby for logistics, training and financial support for women organisers at all levels.
Lastly, she said the NPP as an opposition party needs fearless, bold and assertive leadership at the women’s front to inspire regional, constituency and polling station women organisers as the party reorganises towards the 2028 elections.
“We need a Women’s Organiser who has been tested, who is bold, who understands grassroots women, and who can lead us to victory in 2028. Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson is that leader,” she stressed.
