National Petroleum Authority

National Petroleum Authority (NPA) is a statutory body set up by the Government of Ghana to regulate, oversee and monitor the Ghanaian petroleum industry.[1] The authority was established after calls by the general public for efficiency, growth and stakeholder satisfaction in the industry.[2] Hassan Tampuli currently heads the NPA.[3]

History

The authority was set up by Legislative Instrument of the Parliament of Ghana and it is powered by NPA Act of 2005. It is also known as ACT 691.[4] The authority is headquartered in Accra.[5][6]

Functions

The regulatory mission of the NPA allows it to regularly monitor and adjust the price of Petroleum products in Ghana.[7]
