Despite assurances from the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), to normalise fuel supplies in the Savannah Regional capital of Damongo, the product is still in short supply, compelling some motorists to buy and hoard the commodity.
On Sunday night, a Joy News team monitored fuel stations and found that only two out of the five stations in Damongo had fuel (petrol and diesel).
Some pump attendants at the Zen and Dukes stations confirmed they received a delivery of petrol on Sunday, 12th January 2025.
However, stations like Petrosol and Nasona were still waiting for their stock, with their managers currently in Accra trying to secure the commodity.

At the Zen fuel station, a motorist, Sofo Danjemah, who purchased a jerrycan of petrol, explained, “As a sawmill operator, I can’t be confident that there will be petrol in Damongo after this week. So, I had to buy enough to avoid last week’s shortage."
At the time of filing this report, no other station, apart from the two mentioned, had received petrol or diesel.

Joy News' checks at some transport stations revealed that, in order to remain operational, transport owners have opted to purchase fuel from Tamale in the Northern region.
If the situation continues in this manner until Tuesday, January 2025, the situation could worsen, especially for businesses.
