The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has intensified its nationwide public safety campaign in the Eastern Region, with renewed emphasis on fuel siphoning, petroleum product quality, and the use of the 10-litre standard measuring can as a consumer protection tool.
The initiative, dubbed the “Stay Back, Stay Safe” Campaign, aims to discourage the dangerous practice of siphoning fuel from overturned tanker accidents, an activity that continues to pose significant risks to lives, property, and the environment.
As part of the campaign, a delegation led by the Director of Consumer Services, Mrs. Eunice Budu-Nyarko, undertook an extensive public education and stakeholder engagement tour across the region. The exercise comprised media outreach, community engagement, and targeted sensitization programmes.
