The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has announced the formation of a steering committee within the institution to oversee the implementation of President John Dramani Mahama’s 24-hour economy vision in the energy sector.
Speaking at the launch of the NPA’s Consumer Week Celebration, themed “LPG: A Sustainable Energy for a Better Tomorrow,” the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority, Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, said the initiative aims to ensure affordability, quality, fair pricing, and strict adherence to industry standards.
He added that the move aligns with President Mahama’s broader goal of resetting and transforming the energy sector under the 24-hour economy policy framework.
“Our commitment remains to ensure fair pricing and strict adherence to industry standards, in alignment with the vision of His Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama, as he promised to reset and transform the sector while rolling out the 24-hour economy initiative. Today, at the Authority, we have put together a steering committee on the rollout of the 24-hour economy policy,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for Ashaiman, Ernest Henry Norgbey, has called on the NPA and the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition to establish additional LPG exchange points within the constituency.
Mr Norgbey explained that creating more exchange points would not only improve accessibility and safety but also reduce overcrowding at existing LPG stations and minimise the risks consumers face when travelling long distances for gas refills.
