The Reason Ghana Has Banned Construction Of New Petrol Stations

Following the recent explosion in the country that claimed the lives of seven people last week, the Ghanaian government has ordered for an immediate ban to the construction of fuel stations.

President Nana Akufo Addo on Thursday, October 12, outlined measures to stop explosions at petrol and gas stations.

Twenty fuel stations have already been closed this week and Ghana’s National Petroleum Authority plans to recruit 200 auditors to check fuel stations’ safety standards.
