Ghana: NPA Educates Consumers On Petroleum Safety During Fetu Afahye Festival In Cape Coast

Ghana’s downstream petroleum regulator, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), used the 2026 Fetu Afahye festival in Cape Coast to educate consumers on petroleum product safety, consumer rights and its complaint and enquiry channels.

NPA Chief Executive Godwin Kudzo Tameklo and officials of the Authority interacted with members of the public during the festival, sharing information on petroleum safety and consumer protection.

Tameklo said the NPA was pleased to participate in the festival, which brings together people and showcases the culture and traditions of Oguaaman.

He said stakeholder satisfaction was a key part of the NPA’s mandate and remained one of his priorities.

“Fetu Afahye is an important celebration for the people of Oguaaman and Ghana as a whole. The Orange Friday Float, in particular, brings together people from different backgrounds in a very vibrant atmosphere,” Tameklo said.

“These people are consumers of petroleum products in one form or another. For us at the NPA, being here is not only about joining the celebration, but also about connecting with the people we serve and using the opportunity to share important messages on petroleum safety and consumer protection,” he said.

The NPA said it would continue to protect petroleum consumers through public education, complaint management, consumer and market intelligence, and engagement with consumers across the country.
