Consumer Safety and Petroleum Sector Commitments Highlighted

Mrs Okunor emphasized the necessity for consumers to have confidence that the fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) they acquire are safe, accurately measured and conform to quality standards.

The remarks were made during the NPA Consumer Week celebration at Ofaakor Park in Kasoa on November 5, 2026, with the event's theme centered on 'Safe Downstream: Confident Consumers'.

The gathering united industry stakeholders, regulatory bodies and consumers to explore safety protocols, quality benchmarks and consumer safeguards within the petroleum downstream industry.

Mrs Okunor urged for consistent inspections of fuel stations, LPG facilities and other petroleum infrastructure, alongside strict penalties for those breaching safety protocols.

Mr Mark Prempeh, representing the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, affirmed the government's dedication to shielding consumers from escalating petroleum costs.

He noted that in October, the Tema Oil Refinery and Sentuo delivered refined petroleum products to Bulk Distribution Companies at the current refinery pricing levels.
