Ghanaian oil marketing company NOVA Fuel has commissioned its 18th fuel filling station in Walewale, North East Region.

This is part of an ambitious national expansion plan to become the country’s leading Oil Marketing Company (OMC) within the next five years.

Speaking at the ceremony, NOVA Fuel Managing Director, Kwasi Zigah, said the new outlet marks another step in NOVA’s goal of reaching every corner of Ghana.

“Community by community, NOVA Fuel is expanding nationwide. We aim to become Ghana’s number one OMC in the next five years,” he stated.

NOVA Fuel, the trading name of Westol Petroleum Limited, currently operates fuel stations in Accra, Ashaiman, Nsawam, Takoradi, Ayanfuri, Weta, and other key locations across the country.

Mr. Zigah assured Walewale residents of consistent fuel availability at competitive prices, backed by high-quality standards.

“With our own fuel tankers, we transport fuel from various fuel depots in Ghana to our stations so customers can expect clean, reliable fuel—what we call wholesale prices.”

As part of NOVA’s green energy strategy, the company is also introducing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) services at its stations. In Walewale, residents can exchange old cylinders for new ones filled with gas, paying only for the gas.

“We support the government’s transition to greener energy. Clean cooking helps both the environment and human health,” he added.

Deputy Energy Minister Richard Gyan-Mensah, who attended the launch, praised NOVA’s leadership in adopting cleaner fuel practices and encouraged other OMCs to follow suit.

The Municipal Chief Executive of West Mamprusi, Mohammed Rabiu Jabaah, and the Walewale Chief, Naa Mahami Abudu, both commended the company for investing in the community and creating local jobs.

The new station offers fuel, LPG, and essential energy services, positioning NOVA Fuel as a key player in Ghana’s energy transition and economic development.
