Energy Minister Charges New NPA Board to Tackle Fuel Dumping and Illicit Practices
The Minister for Energy, John Jinapor, has charged the reconstituted Board of Directors of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to address illicit practices within the petroleum downstream sector.
He specifically urged the team to intensify efforts in dealing with issues like fuel dumping through strengthened enforcement measures to restore integrity across the value chain.
At the inauguration ceremony on June 17, 2025, he said the mandate of the Board is central to shaping the future of the NPA and Ghana’s petroleum downstream industry.
“You are expected to enhance institutional governance, promote transparency, ensure fair competition, and foster Ghanaian content and participation. Full enforcement of regulations and licensing standards across the value chain must be a priority.”
He further emphasised the importance of safeguarding consumer interests, fostering fair competition among service providers, and ensuring the consistent availability of quality petroleum products at fair prices.
The Board chaired by Alhaji Huudu Yahya Iddrisu include Mr. Elorm L. Lardi Glawu, Dr. Clement Osei-Amodo, Mr. Godwin Tameklo (CEO of NPA), Sanja Anita Morrison Esq., Linda N. Ogebdei Quao Esq., and Madam Philis Naa Koryoo Okuror.
