The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Marketers Association has called off its industrial action with immediate effect following the lifting of the ban on the construction of LPG retail outlets.
The Association, in a statement, welcomed the government’s decision.
The LPG Marketers commenced the action on Monday, August 1st, 2022 following a sit-down strike declared by gas tanker drivers.
The statement said, “We the LPG Marketing Companies Association of Ghana, welcome the government’s decision to lift the ban on construction of LPG retail outlets across the country.”
“We are by this statement calling off the industrial action commenced on Monday, August 1, 2022, with immediate effect”, it explained.
It also thanked President Akufo-Addo; Energy Minister, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh; the Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority, Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid for reversing the decision which it described as costing the lives of some of its members millions of cedis.
“This resolution is without prejudice to our concerns about NPA’s communication on the lifting of the ban as we are particularly worried about the lack of the details in the statement.”
“It is our earnest expectation that the Ministry of Energy and the NPA will bring all the regulatory bodies on board to ensure the smooth implementation of this directive from Cabinet,” the statement said.
