Africa-Press – Liberia. Amos Tweh, returning to Liberia Petroleum Refining Company (LPRC) after being appointed as Managing Director, said he would build a team that finds solutions and establishes a clear agenda to enhance teamwork, address internal inefficiencies, and provide space for personal development through capacity-building initiatives.
Tweh, who was appointed by President Joseph Nyumah Boakai on January 26, had served in two top managerial positions, including manager for planning, projects, and policies, and then as manager for Policies and Compliance.
In his takeover statement as Managing Director, Tweh said he felt glad to be “back home,” maintaining his commitment to contribute toward repositioning the institution as the natural leader in the downstream sector of the nation’s oil industry.
Said Tweh, “As MD, our focus over the next months and years will be to set up an aggressive agenda that prioritizes institutional growth.”
“We will work with the relevant departments to ensure performance, punctuality, good work ethics, and high productivity. We will place a premier on protecting company assets and utilize available resources more appropriately to facilitate the expansion of the company’s operations.”
He maintained, “We will strengthen operational and systems efficiency to adequately support preventive maintenance and ensure that vessel discharge and loading infrastructures are in their best state at all times.”
The LPRC Managing Director said the new chapter would work with various licensed importers and distributors to jealously guide and protect their investments to uphold the company’s enviable reputational credentials.
He maintained that the institution would ensure the uninterrupted availability and affordability of petroleum products on the Liberian Market.
According to him, under his administration, LPRC’s Petroleum will be upgraded in keeping with international standards to ensure that quality is not compromised at any given time.
He promised to treat product theft with the utmost urgency in adherence to the company’s policies when carried out by any of our employees or contractors.
Said Tweh, “The operations department, which is the nerve center of LPRC, comprising Oil Movement and Supply (OM and S) and the Product Inspection and Stock Sections (PIS), will be given serious attention if the company must grow and stay buoyant.”
“For LPRC to succeed in its quest for adequate storage and the development of a petroleum refinery, we will work collectively to design the company’s corporate strategy and a new five-year strategic plan to guide institutional development in line with the president’s ARREST agenda,” he emphasized.
Tweh, however, pledged to work with relevant agencies, including private firms, to commission a full-scale personal, system, and financial audit to understand what he is taking over at LPRC, maintaining to ensure the President’s desire to enhance transparency in the public space.
He further emphasized reviewing the “existing claim policy” and the company’s overall price regime to conform to current-day realities.
Accordingly, he said, in carrying out this mandate, he will work with relevant stakeholders to review some important agreements on privately owned storage terminals and make appropriate adjustments where necessary.
“We will work collectively to strengthen LPRC’s licensing regime: we will ensure that all the terms and conditions established for the issuance of importation and other licenses are implemented fully,” Tweh said.
Adding, “As I officially start work in this reunion as MD at LPRC, I want to restate President Boakai’s policy statement, “There will be no more business as usual.” Every employee is urged to adopt the principle of corporate mentality.”
