Over a hundred youth stormed the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) today, Wednesday, to demand the exit of appointees of the previous government in less than 24 hours after the swearing-in of the new President of Ghana.
Sources within the refinery told this portal that the group said they did not want any appointee of the previous administration to remain in office.
According to the sources, some of the group also said they were there to seek jobs since a new administration had taken over the affairs of the country.
Sources said it took the effort of security officers of the refinery to control the angry youth who later agreed to leave the refinery.
The 45,000 barrel per stream day premier refinery had been idle for several months during the immediate past administration.
Efforts to seek a private partner to revamp the refinery failed.
The refinery has a workforce of about 515 people.
