President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has highlighted ongoing efforts towards the complete revitalization of the Tema Oil Refinery.
This declaration came during the inauguration ceremony of the Santuo Oil Refinery, owned by the Chinese firm, Santuo Group, in Tema.
Emphasizing the potential of a fully operational Tema Oil Refinery alongside the Santuo Oil Refinery, President Akufo-Addo underscored Ghana’s capability to locally refine a significant portion of its oil, reducing dependence on imported refined products.
“The challenges of another domestic oil refinery, the Tema Oil Refinery, are well documented. Nonetheless, I want to assure the Ghanaian people that the government remains committed to the full operationalization of TOR, and we will stop at nothing to bring it back on stream so that, together with Sentuo, more and more of our oil will be refined right here in Ghana,” the President said.
