Ghana: Rock Africa Hands Over Ultra-Modern Rest Facility For Petroleum Tanker Drivers At BOST Kumasi Depot

Rock Africa has completed and handed over a fully furnished ultra-modern rest room and park for petroleum tanker drivers at the BOSTenergies Kumasi Depot.

The company fully funded the project and formally handed over the facility to the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and the leadership of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union.

Rock Africa is a technical solutions service provider offering a wide range of services, including automated systems, hardware and software solutions, asset tracking, vehicle and container tracking, petroleum automation systems, and surveillance identification systems. The company currently provides services to the NPA to monitor the delivery of petroleum products across Ghana.

The Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority, Mr. Godwin Tameklo, received the keys to the facility and subsequently handed them over to the National Chairman of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union, Mr. George Nyaunu.

The facility, designed as a place of rest and rejuvenation, is intended to enhance the welfare, operational efficiency, and safety of fuel tanker drivers.

Expressing his appreciation for the gesture, Mr. Tameklo said the facility would help rewrite the long-standing and unpleasant practice of drivers and their assistants resting on road shoulders whenever they became fatigued.

He commended Rock Africa for its benevolence and called on other industry players to emulate the company’s example by investing in initiatives that improve the welfare and working conditions of petroleum tanker drivers.

For his part, the Chief Executive Officer of Rock Africa, Mr. Francis Gavor, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to improving the working conditions and welfare of drivers who play a critical role in Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector.

Receiving the facility on behalf of the drivers, the National Chairman of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union, Mr. George Nyaunu, pledged that the union would maintain the facility to the highest standards to ensure its sustainability and continued benefit to tanker drivers.
