Ghana plans to overhaul regulations governing its downstream petroleum sector through a new National Petroleum Authority Act that will address market changes and the global transition toward renewable energy. Energy and Green Transition Minister John Jinapor said the legislation will strengthen consumer protections, improve market transparency, and facilitate the integration of cleaner fuels while enabling digital oversight systems. The minister wants the NPA positioned as a forward-looking regulator aligned with national development priorities.
NPA Chief Executive Officer Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe acknowledged former President John Agyekum Kufuor for creating the Authority two decades ago. Tamakloe emphasized the regulator's mission to...
The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers has called on government authorities to establish a Special Petroleum Fund designed to buffer consumers against volatile international fuel markets. COPEC envisions the mechanism allowing officials to purchase and store petroleum products when global rates decline, then distribute reserves domestically during price surges to maintain stable pump costs for motorists and businesses.
The advocacy group projects petrol will increase 3.38 percent to reach GHS 12.59 per liter, while diesel faces a steeper 9.81 percent jump to GHS 13.71. Paul Ofori, who heads research and training at COPEC, expressed frustration that previous recommendations remain unimplemented despite recurring price shocks affecting the...
Asante Kotoko manager Karim Zito voiced dissatisfaction following his squad's stalemate against Aduana FC at Baba Yara Stadium, though he declined to assign fault. The Porcupine Warriors surrendered an early advantage before Lord Amoah restored parity in the Matchday 10 encounter.
Zito acknowledged his team dominated ball control and generated numerous scoring situations, but lacked clinical execution in front of the goal. The dropped points leave Kotoko trailing league leaders Medeama and Heart of Lions by five points while sitting in sixth position.
The FA Cup champions face Young Apostles at home as they attempt to reverse their fortunes amid a demanding fixture schedule.
Asante Kotoko manager Karim Zito has criticized the Ghana Premier League's compressed fixture schedule, saying the rapid turnaround between matches has left his players exhausted. The FA Cup holders have been required to complete makeup games midweek before returning to regular league contests just days later, a burden Zito says has prevented adequate squad preparation.
Following a draw against Aduana FC at Baba Yara Stadium, Zito warned that this scheduling pattern previously contributed to relegation struggles for Dreams FC and Samartex. He argued that African teams lack the resources and recovery advantages available to European clubs, making the compressed timeline particularly difficult to manage.

Ghana forward Kamaldeen Sulemana has expressed optimism about his team's chances against South Korea in their upcoming friendly at Seoul World Cup Stadium. The Atalanta attacker acknowledged differences in the Korean squad since their last meeting at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Ghana prevailed 3-2.
Sulemana believes the Black Stars possess sufficient quality to secure victory despite anticipating a challenging contest. His squad is working to rebound from a defeat to Japan in their previous outing.
The friendly serves as preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign as Ghana continues building momentum under current management.
Ghana's head coach, Otto Addo, has outlined his strategy for limiting South Korean captain Heung-min Son ahead of their friendly match at Seoul World Cup Stadium. The Black Stars are seeking redemption after losing to Japan earlier in the international window.
Addo recalled working with Son at Hamburg, where communication barriers initially limited the forward's playing time before his breakthrough. The coach acknowledged that neutralizing the former Tottenham player will prove challenging given his dual-footed shooting ability and movement off the ball.
Despite Son's proven quality, Addo expressed optimism about his defenders' chances against the aging star. The match provides an opportunity for Ghana's backline to test themselves...
