The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has intensified its nationwide public safety campaign in the Eastern Region, placing renewed focus on the dangers of fuel siphoning, the quality of petroleum products, and the use of the 10-litre standard measuring can as a key consumer protection tool.
The initiative, known as the “Stay Back, Stay Safe” campaign, is aimed at discouraging the hazardous practice of siphoning fuel from overturned tanker vehicles—an activity that continues to threaten lives, damage property, and harm the environment.
As part of the renewed effort, a team led by the Director of Consumer Services, Eunice Budu-Nyarko, embarked on a comprehensive outreach tour across the region.
The exercise included media engagements, community education programmes, and targeted stakeholder interactions designed to raise awareness and promote safer practices among the public.
