Sources: 3. Developments: 2. The Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union has engaged in multiple periods of industrial action regarding infrastructure and safety concerns. In mid-August, drivers ended a three-day strike at the Kumasi depot following an agreement with the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST). The dispute centered on hazardous parking yard conditions, fuel shortages, and faulty loading equipment. Under the agreement, BOST committed to immediate repairs, including resurfacing a car park and fixing a loading arm, while the National Petroleum Authority was to investigate meter accuracy. By early September, the Union suspended a subsequent two-day strike following interventions by industry chambers. However, drivers issued a one-month ultimatum to the government, demanding measurable progress on rehabilitating deteriorating roads near key petroleum depots, specifically in Tema, Takoradi, and Buipe. The Union warned that failure to address these safety and health risks would lead to a resumption of industrial action. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-04: Ghanaian tanker drivers suspend strike with one-month ultimatum Ghanaian petroleum tanker drivers have suspended their strike but given the government one month to repair dangerous roads near key fuel depots before resuming industrial action. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ghanaian-tanker-drivers-suspend-strike-with-one-month-ultimatum ### 2026-08-17: Ghana tanker drivers end strike following BOST agreement Ghanaian tanker drivers have suspended a three-day strike after BOST committed to repairing the Kumasi depot's parking yard and addressing fuel measurement and equipment concerns. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ghana-tanker-drivers-end-strike-following-bost-agreement --- Cite as: Ghana petroleum tanker drivers industrial action.
