Ghana National Gas Company to protect gas pipelines

Ghana National Gas Company says it would continue to engage  residents living along its gas pipelines to protect the facility.

The Chief Executive Officer of the GNGC, Dr George Sipa Yankey,  made this known during a two-day retreat organised by the Western Regional House of Chiefs in Benyin in the Jomoro District. 

He said the company will dialogue with the chiefs in the catchment areas to find a guideline for recruiting people for the job. 

Dr Yankey said the Atuabo gas plant has created direct and indirect jobs for thousands of people in the country with a number being indigenes from the region. 

He said the Western Corridor gas infrastructure has created an avenue for more companies to relocate to the region.  

He announced that the Atuabo gas plant is supplying 75 per cent of the domestic gas demand and is expected to increase the volume in the coming months.
