NPA Urges General Public To Disregard Media Commentary On Anticipated Gas Shortage.

/

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has directed the general public to disregard media commentary on the anticipated gas shortage. In a statement released on February 20, 2026, in response to a news publication on a commentary made by the Chief Executive of the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC), Dr.Riverson Oppong, the NPA assured the public that there is enough Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in stock to meet demand, citing over a month’s supply cover and increased production from local refineries. The Authority further indicated that, under the current national import plan, an additional LPG cargo is expected within the next two weeks to strengthen existing stock levels and ensure continuous supply across the country. Consumers were therefore advised to desist from panic buying and remain calm, as there is no imminent LPG shortage in Ghana, with regulators maintaining close monitoring of the market to keep it well supplied.
