Ghana set to become the petroleum hub in West Africa – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama says everything is set for Ghana to become the hub of petroleum in the West Africa sub-region.

According to him, considering the current operation and storage capacity of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) as well as the revamped Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), nothing can stop the country from exporting oil to its neighbors.

President Mahama made this comment when he addressed an estimated one thousand people comprised of government officials, students and faculty heads of the University of Cape Coast in the school on the theme: Rising opportunities, entrepreneurship, and a changing Ghana.

BOST’s contract with neighboring Cote D’Ivoire in which the Ghanaian company is expected to supply about 35, 000 of petroleum products is a good news, he said.

This he explained has helped to place the country: “Well on the way to a major petroleum distribution in the sub-region”. see more >> http://myjoyonline.com/politics/2016/May-6th/ghana-set-to-become-the-petroleum-hub-in-west-africa-mahama.php
