The Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Mr. Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe, has assured the public of Ghana’s fuel security, revealing that the country currently holds sufficient reserves to sustain consumption in the short to medium term.
According to him, Ghana has approximately eight weeks’ worth of diesel and about 6.8 weeks’ supply of petrol available. This, he explained, reflects the Authority’s ongoing efforts to ensure stability in the downstream petroleum sector and prevent any potential supply disruptions.
Mr. Tamakloe noted that the NPA continues to closely monitor global petroleum supply trends and local consumption patterns to maintain adequate stock levels at all times. He emphasized that maintaining strategic fuel reserves is critical, especially in the face of global market uncertainties and potential logistical challenges.
He further assured industry players and the general public that the Authority is working collaboratively with bulk oil distributors, oil marketing companies, and other stakeholders to guarantee uninterrupted fuel availability across the country.
The announcement is expected to boost public confidence, particularly amid concerns about global fuel supply fluctuations, as the NPA strengthens measures to ensure energy security and operational resilience within Ghana’s petroleum sector.
