The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) is to engage with the Finance Ministry to consider removing some taxes on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to make it more affordable and accessible to consumers.

A Deputy Chief Executive of the Authority, Linda Asante, who disclosed this said the move spearheaded by the NPA Chief Executive, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, was to encourage more women to use LPG for cooking to protect their health and save the environment.

That, she said, was in line with government’s target to increase LPG penetration to 50% by 2030. Mrs Asante was speaking at a regional town hall durbar on cylinder recirculation model (CRM) in Tamale on Friday.
