Welcome from the Administrator

"Welcome to the National Premix Fuel Secretariat (NPFS), the institution mandated to oversee the equitable distribution and efficient management of premix fuel in Ghana.

As the backbone of Ghana's artisanal fishing industry, premix fuel plays a crucial role in sustaining the livelihoods of thousands of fishers across the country.

At NPFS, we are committed to transparency, accountability, and efficiency in the allocation of premix fuel to coastal and inland fishing communities. Through innovative solutions such as the Automated Premix Fuel Dispensing and Monitoring System, we continue to enhance efficiency and curb fuel diversion."

— Ebow Mensah, Administrator, National Premix Fuel Secretariat

Beyond fuel distribution, we work closely with Landing Beach Committees (LBCs) and key stakeholders to reinvest 53% of premix fuel sales margins into community development projects—including schools, healthcare facilities, and market centers.
