The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, has assured the public that Ghana has adequate fuel reserves to sustain national demand for more than two months, despite global supply concerns.
Speaking at a briefing with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy at Senchi on Saturday, Mr Tameklo disclosed that the country currently holds over 200 million litres of petrol and 150 million litres of diesel in reserve.
“I can assure the good people of Ghana that we have enough stock to last us beyond two months, and with all the ongoing efforts, we are confident that there will be no supply disruptions,” he said.
He also revealed that additional petroleum shipments are already within Ghana’s territorial waters, indicating a steady flow of supply. Furthermore, he noted that output from Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery was now contributing significantly to the regional fuel supply, which would help bolster Ghana’s inventory in the coming weeks.
