What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has revoked the licenses of several Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) in Ghana over the past two years due to their failure to meet regulatory requirements, according to Abass Ibrahim Tasunti, Director of Regulation and Planning at the NPA.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express Business Edition on Thursday, October 4, he highlighted that the NPA is continuously working to strengthen these requirements to ensure compliance and maintain the integrity of the industry.

“Every company has to meet certain requirements to obtain a license, and these are publicly available on our website. If you meet the requirements, you get the license, just like in any other business,” Abass Tasunti explained.

He acknowledged concerns about the rising number of OMCs but noted that the regulatory framework is designed to address these concerns.
