Evelyn Lamisi Asuah

Evelyn Lamisi Asuah serves as a board member of GOIL Ghana, the country's largest oil marketing company by market share and one of the few Ghanaian-owned energy companies with a national retail footprint. GOIL, formerly Ghana Oil Company Limited, operates an extensive network of fuel retail stations across Ghana, providing petrol, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, and lubricants to individual consumers, businesses, and industrial users. As a company listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange, GOIL's governance is subject to both the oversight of its board and the disclosure requirements of the public market.

The petroleum downstream sector in Ghana occupies a critical position in the country's energy economy, and companies like GOIL operate in an environment shaped by international crude oil prices, foreign exchange dynamics, government fuel pricing policy, and the evolving competition from a growing number of licensed oil marketing companies. Board governance of GOIL requires engagement with questions of pricing strategy, infrastructure investment, supply chain management, and the long-term positioning of a petroleum retail business in an energy environment where the role of fossil fuels is being increasingly questioned.

Asuah's board service at GOIL connects her to the governance of an institution that is both a commercial enterprise and a component of Ghana's national energy infrastructure. Her contributions to the board's oversight work take place in the context of an organisation that serves millions of Ghanaian consumers directly and whose operational decisions have implications for fuel availability, pricing, and service quality across the country.

Her recognition in the 2026 Avance Media Top 100 Women Board Directors ranking confirms her standing as one of Ghana's significant women in energy sector governance. The ranking identified her among a group of 100 women whose board contributions collectively span the breadth of Ghana's public and private sector institutional landscape, from banking and insurance to energy, utilities, and public agencies.

Her work at GOIL represents governance engagement with one of Ghana's most economically consequential companies, at a time when the energy sector faces the dual challenges of meeting current demand and preparing for a lower-carbon future.
