Total Petroleum inaugurates new service station

Total Petroleum Ghana Limited has opened a new service station at Tema as part of the company’s strategy to develop its operations in the oil-marketing industry.

Mr Ben Dagadu, Deputy Minister of Energy and Petroleum, said the ministry had been following the developments in the rapidly expanding downstream sector, with Total as one of the forerunners.

He said the government remained committed to supporting both local and foreign investors, and added that “Ghana continues to be one of the leading destinations for investment on the African continent”.

Mr Dagadu said the government was aware of the critical role the downstream sector played and had put in place measures that would strengthen its technical, managerial and financial capabilities.

He said the government was working to resource the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) and was in talks with Petro Saudi to come on board as a strategic partner to revamp TOR.

Mr Dagadu urged companies to take advantage of the opportunities associated with Ghana’s status as an oil-producing country to create more employment avenues for the youth.

Mr Momar Nguer, Vice President for Total Africa and Middle East, said the company had constantly provided quality products and services to its customers across the country in response to the ever-changing trends and needs of its customers. — GNA
