The Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, has assured tanker drivers in the country of his resolve to address their welfare issues.

He noted that the drivers play an essential role in the petroleum downstream sector and thus going to roll out initiatives to benefit them.

Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid gave the assurance when members of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union paid a courtesy call on him at the NPA head office in Accra.

In a Facebook post sighted by energynewsafrica.com, it said the purpose of the visit was to outline their challenges as tanker drivers and to also commend him for immediately addressing some of their challenges barely a year after taking office.

The tanker drivers, in recent times, have been protesting over poor working conditions despite working in a hazardous industry.

The poor working conditions and some other issues compelled the gas tanker drivers within the union to suspend their services but the swift response by Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid made them suspend their industrial action.

Dr. Hamid assured them that he was going to quickly work together with his team to resolve other outstanding challenges tabled during the meeting.

The Union led by George T. Nyaunu commended the Chief Executive for his sterling leadership and assured the Authority of their readiness to collaborate whenever they were called upon.
