SERIOUSLY? Ghana Has Started Exporting Fuel To Nigeria

According to reports, Ghana has started exporting fuel and gas oil to the landlocked countries of West Africa. The state-owned Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company (BOST) Limited, is also supplying petroleum products from the same depot to Benin Republic and Nigeria.

Ghana's Minister of Petroleum, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, who made this known at the meet-the-press series in Accra, said there were plans to extend the exports to Liberia in the coming months.

 

The minister said the vision of the government was to make Ghana the hub for the distribution of petroleum products in the West African sub-region. The Bolgatanga Petroleum Depot, with acapacity of 46 million litres of refined gasoline and gas oil, was re-inaugurated in August 2015. 

Mr. Buah said Ghana had been ushered into a new gas era that would guarantee its energy security for the next two decades. "Despite the global downturn in the oil industry, we have managed to increase production," he assured Ghanaians.
