Unlike other parts of the five northern regions grappling with fuel shortages, Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region is experiencing an oversupply of petroleum products, leading to intense competition among fuel stations and sluggish sales.
Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) in the Bolgatanga municipality are struggling to make sales due to the high availability of petrol and diesel. 3News' Upper East Regional Correspondent, Tanko Mohammed Rabiu, reported from several fuel stations, noting that some stations remained empty while others recorded slow patronage despite having sufficient supplies.
The situation contrasts sharply with reports of fuel shortages in other parts of Northern Ghana, including Yendi and Damongo, where transport operators and residents have faced severe difficulties due to the unavailability of petrol and diesel.
The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) recently assured the public that efforts were underway to resolve the shortages affecting parts of the region.
