Mr David Adomakoh, a 100% shareholder of Quad Energy, announced this in a statement issued yesterday.
According to him, AGM invited him to form a consortium of established and robust Ghanaian businesses as its local partner, which has successfully been done.
Quad Energy by this “becomes a proud partner of AGM, a company that is genuinely intent on delivering substantial value to the people of Ghana through its activity in the country’s oil and gas sector”, he added.
According to him, he invited his nephew, Babatunde Ampah, to initially serve as second director of the company, adding that Mr Ampah holds no shareholding or any other beneficial interest in Quad Energy.
Mr David Adomakoh, an astute investment banker with nearly three decades of experience in executive management, is a 100% shareholder of Quad Energy.
He is also a non-executive board member for Aker Energy, Norway.
He has thus been invited by AGM to form a consortium of established and robust Ghanaian businesses as its local partner.
There were already discussions surrounding the real owners of Quad Energy, as this was not disclosed in the memo to Parliament during a consideration of the amended Petroleum Agreement for AGM Ghana Limited.
This has compelled the company to set the records straight.
Quad Energy Limited seeks to focus on developing itself as one of the growing number of long-term-oriented Ghanaian-owned businesses that continue to deepen the involvement of Ghanaians in the local oil and gas sector, said Mr Adomakoh.
David Adomakoh is the Chairman of Tiso Investment Holdings, an investment company that founded Tiso Group in South Africa in 2001.
Tiso Group merged with Kaisos Trust Investments in 2011, to establish Kagiso Tiso Holdings (KTH), a leading South African privately held investment holding company. Mr Adomakoh serves as a non-executive director on the board of KTH.
He also currently serves as non-executive chairman of Tiso Blackstar Group, South Africa’s leading English-speaking full spectrum media group with media investments in Kenya and Ghana. He is currently a non-executive director of Aker Energy, Norway.
Mr Adomakoh continues to serve as a trustee of Tiso Foundation, a non-profit public benefit organisation he co-founded in 2002, which is focused on enabling future leaders through the development of skills and leadership.
He is also a World Fellow at The Duke of Edinburgh International Award.
