Certain regions in the country are experiencing a shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).

On Thursday, September 26, 2024, Joy Business reported seeing lengthy queues at various LPG stations across the Greater Accra region.

The LPG Marketers Association of Ghana has cautioned that the situation may worsen if there isn’t a prompt improvement in supplies from the Bulk Oil Distributors.

“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 revealed that the limited LPG stations are already feeling the strain because of the current 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.

The Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) has confirmed that the problems have been addressed.

TOR stated that the difficulties arose from initial issues with the Bulk Distribution Companies (BDCs).

A representative from TOR informed Joy Business, “WWe expect supplies to improve very soon for the situation to be normalize” a source at TOR told the media.”
