The Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority, Mr Alhassan Tampuli has commended consumers for their active participation in the success of the Cylinder Recirculation Model policy.

The NPA as part of the roadmap for the final implementation of the program has had consultations with almost every important interest group from across the regions and collated views which have been incorporated into the program.

Mr. Tampuli said at a stakeholder engagement at Yendi in the Northern Region while observing the COVID-19 safety protocols that the policy has been designed with the consumer in mind

According to him, the issue of petroleum safety is strictly going to be enforced once the process fully takes effect; adding that his outfit will create the necessary environment to ensure the concept of local content is also kept.

“You don’t need any huge amount to participate in the program,” he said, adding “you just need a 40 footer container with the necessary safety measures (to be certified by the NPA) to play a role in the process.”

Chairman of the implementation Committee and head of the AOMC, Kweku Agyeman Duah, said that they are determined to push through in spite of the challenges associated with the pilots.

“These challenges are the reasons we do pilots, they help us identify the mistakes and fix them,” he noted.

Due to the program’s enormous job prospects for the future, Mr. Agyeman Duah advised the young people in Yendi to actively participate in the process.
