Two former scholarship recipients of Yinson Production West Africa have reached an important milestone in their educational and professional journeys, returning to the company as National Service Personnel after completing their university studies.

Micheal Asante (24) and Musa Mohammed (22) were among the first beneficiaries of Yinson Production’s scholarship programme in Ahanta West, Ghana, in 2019. Both were selected following their outstanding performance in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

Through the programme, they received educational support from senior high school through university, allowing them to pursue their academic interests and develop the skills needed for their future careers.

Micheal graduated with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT), while Musa earned a degree in Marine Engineering from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

Their journey has now come full circle as both begin their professional experience with Yinson Production West Africa. On 2 November 2026, Musa commenced his National Service, joining Micheal at the company.

Reflecting on the opportunity, Micheal shared: “I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to undertake my National Service with Yinson Production West Africa, where I can translate academic training into practical experience. I am committed to contributing diligence, technical competence, and a firm dedication to safety and excellence.”

Musa also expressed his appreciation for the support he has received: “Being part of the Yinson family has been a defining experience in my life. I am truly grateful for the journey so far. As I take my first steps into the workforce, my dream is to become an accomplished marine engineer, contribute meaningfully to the offshore industry, make Yinson proud and inspire others along the way.”

Today, Yinson Production’s scholarship programme supports more than 200 students across its host communities, providing access to education and opportunities for personal and professional development.

Micheal and Musa’s achievements highlight the value of sustained educational support and the determination of young people to make the most of the opportunities available to them.

As they embark on this next chapter, Yinson Production looks forward to supporting their professional development and continuing its efforts to create meaningful educational opportunities for young people in its host communities.
