The Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD) in the Republic of Ghana, is demanding the suspension of all petroleum downstream industry engagements.
The demand follows the outbreak of coronavirus in the West African which prompted the President Nana Akufo-Addo announcing some measures including banning of all public gathering shutting down of schools over a period of one month.
So far Ghana has recorded about six cases of the contagious diseases.
In a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer of CBOD, Senyo Hosi, it said the chamber has written to the National Petroleum Authority requesting suspension of all industry engagements over the 4 week period recommended by the President in his national address on Sunday.
CBOD noted in the statement that it will operate remotely beginning today, march 17, 2020 to march 30, 2020.
“CBOD staff will be available on call, email and teleconferencing to address any issue members may have,” the statement said.
