BOST Energies Limited (BOSTenergies) has been honoured as Energy Company of the Year – Petroleum at the Ghana Energy Awards 2025. The recognition highlights the company’s leadership, innovation, and commitment to excellence in the petroleum sector, reinforcing its role in powering Ghana’s growth and sustainability.
BOST has rebranded to BOST Energies, signaling a bold commitment to sustainability and aligning with Ghana’s energy transition goals. The announcement was made at the 2025 AGM, where stakeholders praised the company’s leadership and strategic direction.
In a landmark move to transform Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, BOST and TOR have entered a strategic Memorandum of Understanding to reignite refinery operations and expand fuel logistics across the region.
At the Government Accountability Series held on July 16, 2025, Energy Minister John Jinapor praised BOST’s renewed efficiency and strategic vision under the leadership of Afetsi Awoonor. Highlighting the company’s role in regional fuel expansion and national energy reforms, Jinapor affirmed Ghana’s path toward energy security, increased petroleum reserves, and transparent governance.
BOST MD Afetsi Awoonor commended Kalibi Volleyball Club for securing bronze at the 2025 CAVB Zone 3 Championship, urging them to aim higher ahead of Ghana’s hosting in 2026. The team, supported by BOST, was celebrated at a medal presentation ceremony in Accra.

BOST has renewed its strategic partnership with Burkina Faso’s SONABHY to strengthen cross-border petroleum trade and foster regional energy security. The move follows restored diplomatic ties and aims to optimise product flow between the two countries, leveraging key infrastructure like the Bolgatanga Depot and Blue Ocean Terminal. A joint technical team will explore efficiency opportunities, while expanded electricity exports are also under consideration to address Burkina Faso’s energy needs.
Ghana’s Chief Imam, Alhaji Dr Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Shaributu, visited BOST to congratulate Mr Afetsi Awoonor on becoming its youngest-ever Managing Director.
