Business News of Saturday, 14 March 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Minister of Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, has told Parliament that the government plans to eventually ban the importation of gas cylinders into Ghana as part of efforts to boost local production and strengthen the domestic LPG industry. “I think we are on course to revamp Ghana Cylinder, and we are on course to retool it. He also indicated that an agreement has been signed with Ghana Oil Company Limited (GOIL) to serve as an off-taker for the cylinders produced by GCMC. “So, Mr Speaker, let me assure this House that we are on course towards retooling Ghana Cylinder and making it a modern factory fit for purpose,” Jinapor said. An Auditor-General’s report showed that the company recorded a GH¢4 million loss in 2021, and in 2023, it was taken over by the Ghana National Gas Company to help keep it operational.
