The Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, Dr Yussif Sulemana, says Ghana is not facing an immediate fuel supply shortage despite rising tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking in an interview cited by YADTV on Monday, March 9, 2026, Dr Sulemana stated that Ghana currently has enough fuel stocks to meet demand in the short term.
“We are not facing any immediate threat to the supply or availability of the product. What we are threaten with is the price. Are we able to maintain the price? That is a big question that we are looking at,” he said.
He explained that although global supply disruptions could eventually affect markets, Ghana’s immediate priority is to ensure that adequate fuel stocks remain available.
“TOR has been working closely with the National Petroleum Authority to maintain stable supply levels. We only have to ensure that supply remains available since they have assured us that stocks can last beyond five weeks,” he stated.
His comments come amid growing concerns about a possible oil crisis following the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which analysts warn could disrupt global oil supply routes.
