Established in 1993, BOSTEnergies was formerly known as the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company. The wholly state-owned company adopted its current name at its annual general meeting in August 2025.
The board takes office as BOSTEnergies reports improved financial performance. Figures presented at its annual general meeting this year showed revenue nearly tripled to GH¢3.81 billion in 2025, while profit after tax rose 72% to GH¢683.96 million.
The company also paid a GH¢34.2 million dividend to the government, which Dr Jinapor described as the first he could recall.
