The Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union and the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) have reached an agreement to end a three-day strike by fuel tanker drivers. The drivers had been protesting over the condition of the parking yard at the BOST Kumasi depot, recurring fuel shortages during offloading, and alleged inaccuracies in the depot’s measuring meters.
The companies have agreed to address these concerns. The union in Kumasi will oversee the resurfacing of the AG car park in Kumasi immediately. BOST has also dispatched a contractor to fix a loading arm that had caused delays and inefficiencies. A contract has been awarded for a new car park at the depot, with progress updates to follow.
The parties also agreed to involve the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) in examining the accuracy of the depot’s measuring meters, with the examination scheduled for September 2026.
