The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) is exploring various aspects of the downstream petroleum value chain, alongside a comprehensive implementation plan to facilitate the rollout of a 24-hour economy within the industry.
The Chief Executive of the NPA, Mr Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, said the initial phase might include the deployment of automated dispensers at selected petroleum retail outlets, as well as the implementation of measures to ensure the continuous operation of bulk storage facilities and depots, among other initiatives.
He said the planned implementation of the 24-hour economy in the downstream petroleum sector was in line with President John Dramani Mahama's vision of running a 24-hour economy to grow the economy and create more jobs.
Mr Tameklo was delivering a keynote speech at the Downstream Dialogue 2025, organised by the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) in Accra yesterday.
