Book Review ‘My Footprints in Ghana’s Black Gold’ by Dr. A Ofori Quaah

Number of Pages:
Back in the 1970s and 80s, there were various myths and fairy tales about the presence or absence of commercial quantities of oil and gas in the basins of Ghana, and this book by Dr. A Ofori Quaah published in July of 2019 sets its readers on an exquisite journey to put to rest the doubts, shining a light of reality for a better illumination.
Anyway, some of myths ranged from the notion that Nigeria was draining Ghana s oil and that all that Ghana needed was to buy powerful machines and begin to pump and drain her own, through those who believed that Ghana would never find oil until the gods of Nzemaland and the Volta Region had been pacified, to those who thought the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Model Agreement was too harsh on contractors interested in oil prospecting.
