Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia has launched an innovative Digital Retail Fuel Monitoring System by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) in Accra.
The fuel monitoring system, which allows fuel in OMC tanks across the country to be monitored by NPA, will curb illicit activities in petroleum downstreaming, such as unauthorised third-party deliveries, fake receipts, smuggling, among others.
Under this system, any OMC that receives illegal fuel would be found out.
Launching the programme in Accra on Wednesday, 7 April 2021, Dr Bawumia commended the NPA for leveraging the government’s digitisation drive to create an innovative solution to a major problem in the petroleum industry.
