Nasir Alfa Mohammed appointed Acting Deputy CEO of Petroleum Commission

President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Nasir Alfa Mohammed as the Acting Deputy CEO of the Petroleum Commission (PC), the regulator of Ghana’s upstream oil and gas sector.

A lawyer and policy analyst with extensive experience in energy and natural resource governance, Nasir has held senior legal advisory roles at Ali-Nakyea & Associates, Atuguba & Associates, and CEMLAWS-Africa.

He has also been a key figure in policy advocacy, serving as a Policy Advocacy Officer at the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) and a senior policy analyst at the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP).

His tenure as Vice Chairman of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) reinforced his commitment to transparency in petroleum revenue management.

With Ghana’s oil and gas industry poised for growth under the new administration, Nasir’s expertise is expected to strengthen the Petroleum Commission’s regulatory framework and investment climate.

He holds an LLM from the University of Dundee, a QCL from the Ghana School of Law, and an LLB and BA from the University of Ghana.
