The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has dismissed LPG Shortage Claims circulating in sections of the media, assuring consumers that there is sufficient stock to meet national demand.
In a press release issued on Friday, February 20, 2026, the Authority urged the public to disregard commentary suggesting an imminent shortage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
The statement follows remarks attributed to the Chief Executive of the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies, Dr Riverson Oppong, who reportedly advised the public to fill their gas cylinders in anticipation of supply constraints.
The National Petroleum Authority stated that it had taken notice of news publications carrying the commentary and sought to clarify the situation to prevent unnecessary anxiety in the market.
“The NPA wishes to assure the general public that there is enough LPG in stock to meet demand.”
The Authority indicated that Ghana presently has LPG reserves covering over a month of consumption, providing a comfortable buffer against any immediate supply disruptions.
