Parts of the country have been hit by shortage of supply of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG).
Joy Business observed long queues at some LPG stations in the Greater Accra region on Thursday September 26, 2024.
The LPG Marketers Association of Ghana has warned that the situation could get dire if supplies from the Bulk Oil Distributors do not improve soon.
“If this problem is not resolved today, then it means going into the weekend, we are likely to have a serious shortage issues. About 60 to 70 percent of us have run out of LPG”, Vice President of the association, Gabriel Kumi told Joy Business.
He disclosed that the few stations with LPG are already under pressure due to the situation.
“This is putting a lot of pressure on the 40 to 30 percent that have the product. If we don’t get the supplies from the BDCs, then by close of tomorrow Friday, September 27, the whole system will be dried up”, he cautioned again.
TOR assures of resolving the issues
The Tema Oil Refinery has assured that the challenges have been resolved.
According to TOR, the situation occurred due to initial challenges with the BDCs.
“We expect supplies to improve very soon for the situation to be normalize” a source at TOR told Joy Business.
