President John Dramani Mahama has commissioned the refurbished processing facilities at the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), marking a major milestone in Ghana's industrial revitalisation and energy security agenda. The ceremony, which took place on a recent day, is a testament to the country's ability to rebuild and revitalize its strategic institutions.
Revival of a National Asset
The revival of Tema Oil Refinery is a significant achievement for the nation. President Mahama has reaffirmed government's commitment to rebuilding Ghana's strategic state institutions following the commissioning of the refurbished facilities. The President's words were echoed in a statement on the official Facebook page of the Ghana Presidency, where he said, "The revival of Tema Oil refinery demonstrates that Ghana can rebuild its strategic institutions, add value to its resources, and chart a path towards sustainable prosperity."
The refurbishment of the refinery has strengthened Ghana's energy security, reducing dependence on imported petroleum products. This achievement has been made possible through the resilience and determination of the President and his team. According to a statement on Modern Ghana, President Mahama said, "A fully operational refinery would strengthen Ghana's energy security, reduce dependence on imported petroleum products, and contribute significantly to the country's economic growth and development."
Impact on Energy Security

The country's reliance on imported petroleum products has been a major concern for years, and the commissioning of the refurbished refinery is a significant step towards reducing this dependence. As President Mahama noted in a statement on the Graphic Online website, "The revival of state assets can thrive, and a fully operational TOR would strengthen Ghana's energy security, reduce foreign exchange expenditure on imported petroleum products, and contribute to the country's economic growth and development."
A New Era for Ghana's Industrial Sector
The commissioning of the refurbished facilities at TOR marks a new era for Ghana's industrial sector. The country has the potential to become a major player in the region's energy market, and the revival of TOR is a significant step towards realizing this potential.
