Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has suggested that the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) should be privatized.<\/b><\/p>\n

It is his view that this will get the refinery functioning as expected.<\/p>\n

Mr Ahiagbah said this while commenting on the commissioning of the 2 million barrels per annum Sentuo Oil Refinery by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

During the commissioning of the Sentuo Refinery, President Akufo-Addo stated that TOR was going to be fully revitalized after years of being dormant.<\/p>\n

He said that having both the Tema Oil Refinery and the Sentuo Oil Refinery operational would enable Ghana to refine most of its oil locally, instead of relying on imported products.<\/p>\n

Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh on his part urged foreign investors to join the energy sector, aiming to boost its performance.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s re-examine the options, there are credible business entities that can resuscitate TOR -ACEP<\/p>\n

Commenting on this on his X platform, Mr Ahiagbah said \u201cThe Refinery is scalable to 5 million barrels per annum. This outstanding achievement will impact Ghana\u2019s foreign exchange position and price stability in the medium term.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe we should consider privatizing TOR…to get it working too. It has been down now for years and is just sapping resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

TOR-Torrentco deal shouldn\u2019t happen at all \u2013 Ben Boakye<\/p>\n
