The Chief Executive Officer of the NPA, Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, underscored the Authority’s resolve to strengthen health, safety, security, environment, and quality (HSSEQ) compliance across the industry, stressing that maintaining high standards remains a top priority.
Speaking as Special Guest at the event hosted by GOIL PLC at the GOBitumen Terminal, he highlighted the importance of continuous collaboration between regulators and industry players to enhance operational excellence.
