The Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, Esq., has given a firm assurance that businesses in the petroleum downstream sector that comply with the regulations governing the sector will be protected under his leadership.
He, however, warned that non-compliant businesses will face the full sanctions corresponding to their offense, to ensure industry growth.
He said this at the opening of the second edition of the 3-day Downstream Compliance Workshop being held at the head office of NPA in Accra.
He expressed confidence that insights and feedback gathered from the workshop would contribute meaningfully to ongoing reforms and operational efficiency.
“We are optimistic that the outcomes of this workshop will strengthen our regulatory framework and improve activities in the downstream petroleum sector,” Mr. Tameklo stated.
The three-day event will bring together key stakeholders across the petroleum downstream sector in a concerted effort to strengthen regulatory compliance and industry standards.
On Monday, the workshop featured participants from Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketing Companies (LPGMCs).
Day Two, which is today, Tuesday, May 13, will involve Bulk Import, Distribution, and Export Companies (BIDECs), refineries, storage and depot operators, and other allied facility providers.
The workshop will conclude tomorrow, Wednesday, May 14, 2025, with engagements targeting transport companies.
