BOST Energies Limited has assured the government of its full readiness to support the implementation of the 24-Hour Economy policy, stating that it has the infrastructure and operational capacity to guarantee continuous fuel supply across the country.
The Managing Director of BOST Energies Limited, Mr. Afetsi Awoonor, explained that the company is well-positioned with adequate storage facilities, logistics systems, and distribution networks to sustain round-the-clock fuel delivery as Ghana transitions toward a continuous production-driven economy.
Speaking at the launch of the 24-Hour Economy Pilot Programme for the petroleum downstream sector in Accra, Mr. Awoonor described the initiative as a bold national reform with the potential to significantly enhance economic productivity.
He noted that a successful 24-hour economy depends heavily on a reliable energy supply system, stressing that fuel remains a critical input for all sectors of the economy.
According to him, BOST Energies Limited has over the years made significant investments in storage, transportation, and logistics infrastructure to ensure the consistent availability and security of petroleum products.
Mr. Awoonor commended President John Dramani Mahama for championing the 24-Hour Economy agenda, while also praising the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor, for efforts aimed at strengthening the energy sector to support the policy.
He further acknowledged the Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority, Mr. Edudzi Kudzo Tameklo, for spearheading the pilot programme, describing it as a clear demonstration of commitment to improving productivity through better use of national resources.
He emphasised the need for strong collaboration among all stakeholders, including security agencies, customs authorities, regulators, and industry operators, to ensure the safe and efficient rollout of extended operational hours in the downstream petroleum sector.
Mr. Awoonor added that the success of the 24-hour economy cannot rest on a single institution, but requires collective effort to boost national productivity and strengthen Ghana’s competitiveness in the global economy.
