NOVA Fuel has inaugurated its 18th fuel station at Walewale, in the North East Region, signalling a bold step forward in its mission to become the country’s leading Oil Marketing Company (OMC) within five years.
The newly commissioned station, located strategically in the heart of Walewale, offers a full suite of energy services, including premium fuel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), aligning with the company’s expansion strategy and commitment to sustainability.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, NOVA Fuel Managing Director, Kwasi Zigah emphasised the company’s goal of nationwide coverage and market leadership.
“Community by community, NOVA Fuel is expanding nationwide. We aim to become Ghana’s number one OMC in the next five years,” he declared.
Operating under the trading name of Westol Petroleum Limited, NOVA Fuel has built a growing network of stations in key locations such as Accra, Ashaiman, Nsawam, Takoradi, Ayanfuri and Weta.
Mr. Zigah assured residents of Walewale of reliable, high-quality fuel supply at competitive rates, backed by the company’s in-house logistics network.
“With our own fleet of tankers, we transport fuel from depots directly to our stations. Customers can expect clean, reliable fuel – what we call wholesale prices,” he said.
As part of NOVA Fuel’s green energy initiative, the company is also rolling out LPG services at its outlets.
In Walewale, residents will be able to exchange old gas cylinders for new ones, paying only for the gas – a move Mr. Zigah says supports both environmental sustainability and public health.
“We support the government’s transition to greener energy. Clean cooking helps both the environment and human health,” he added.
Deputy Minister for Energy, Richard Gyan-Mensah, who was present at the event, lauded NOVA Fuel’s leadership in promoting cleaner energy options and encouraged other OMCs to follow suit.
“This is the kind of innovation and responsibility we need from the private sector to drive Ghana’s energy future,” he said.
The commissioning also drew praise from local leaders. West Mamprusi Municipal Chief Executive, Mohammed RabiuJabaah, and the Chief of Walewale, Naa Mahami Abudu, both applauded NOVA Fuel’s investment in the region, noting the job creation and economic boost the station will provide.
The Walewale station offers fuel, LPG, and other essential energy services, reinforcing NOVA Fuel’s position as a rising force in Ghana’s energy sector and a key player in the country’s economic development and clean energy transition.
