The Daily Graphic calls on management of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) to prioritise efficiency and product integrity to help sustain the revival of the refinery. This will help reduce losses and further endear the refinery to oil traders for supply deals, similar to the one signed with BP oil, as well as be an evidence that the country has the requisite expertise to meet its petroleum needs. The Graphic says TOR has had its fair share of challenges as various attempts have been made to revive the refinery. The paper therefore commends government, the board and management of TOR for putting in place appropriate measures to earn the faith of BP oil.
