In an interview with JoyNews' Carlos Calony, the Public Relations Officer, Matilda Adjoa Frempah assured that the situation is under control.
“The situation is under control…There has not been any damage recorded yet, we are waiting for the investigation to commence and be completed for us to know if there’s been any potential damage to the line,” she said.
According to her, the fire would not affect operations at TOR, adding that “this is not going to impact on what is supposed to go to the market. The product will go out as usual.”
