citing the Mamba LPG gas station as one of such incidents.<\/p>\n<p>In view of this, he said the NPA has rolled out measures to ensure safety at all fuel stations across the country, thus the closure of at least 59 gas stations by the Authority due to noncompliance of safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese actions have necessitated the roll out of intensified inspection and monitoring activities by the authority to ensure health, safety and security standards are strictly adhere to such that accidents are brought to the lowest minimum,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 57 updated by: 38 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Wednesday, 31 January 2018 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2018-01-31 play videoAlhassan Tampuli, Chief Executive Officer of NPA The introduction of strong policies and enforcement of stringent measures by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has yielded positive results as Ghana no longer consumes noxious fuel, Alhassan Tampuli has revealed.
