He was confident that once it is automated with canoes and boats given cards, the activities of hoarding and resale will become a thing of the past.


“So the Ministry led by the Minister, Honourable Hawa Koomson is is pushing for the digitization of premix fuel system. She has always been on her toes, going up and down to make sure that this particular thing becomes something that can help and uplift the sale and distribution of premix fuel system”
