President John Evans Atta Mills yesterday visited the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) and assured workers that the government would definitely provide the refinery with the much needed crude oil to facilitate its operations.
�I am here for one reason: I want crude oil. I want to assure you that you are going to get crude oil to run the refinery,� he said.
Interacting with the workers on the factory premises in Tema, President Mills said the government attached great importance to the activities of the refinery, which he described as one of the pivots of the country�s economic development. He said the government was sensitive to the plight of the electorate who gave it the mandate to manage the country�s affairs and would not, by any stretch of the imagination, undertake actions which would inflict hardships on them.
According to him, the regular supply of petroleum products to the market was important to industry and manufacturing, for which reason the government would strive at all times to ensure that those products were on the market.
President Mills explained that the government had learnt very hard lessons from the operations of the petroleum sector, stressing that there were so many intrigues in the sector which it had discovered and was dealing with them to ensure that petroleum products were available to Ghanaians throughout the year.
