Ghana has enough fuel to last more than two months, according to the Acting CEO of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo. He made this announcement during a briefing with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Energy in Senchi on Saturday.

Tameklo stated that the country currently holds over 200 million litres of petrol and 150 million litres of diesel in reserve. He assured the public that there is no immediate threat of a fuel shortage.

“I can assure the good people of Ghana that we have enough stock to last us beyond two months,” he said. “With all the ongoing efforts, we are confident that there will be no supply disruptions.”

He further noted that vessels loaded with petroleum products are already anchored within Ghanaian waters. He also highlighted the role of Nigeria’s Dangote Refinery, which is producing large volumes of petrol and diesel that could support Ghana’s energy needs.

The NPA’s assurance comes at a time of rising concerns over global fuel supply disruptions due to geopolitical tensions and market volatility.
