First look at Ghana's private-owned oil refinery located near TOR | BizTech 

how do you know his intentions? the man spent 2 billion building this. Of course he would say he loves ghana.

Masa comot for der do you know him, ihave work for him before at his centuo ceramic and guys works his steel company too, do you de plans he has Ghana. Always saying things like yu know it all

@@EmmanuelBondzie-qy5ti you worked for him so you know his intentions? how does that make sense

U don't know centuo errh, he has 3 to 4 companies here Centuo steel, ceramic, all in Tema

TOR has always been run by Ghanaians.

You don't know much about where this political leadership even keep our public funds accrued from crude oil and gold sales; do you?

Reboot? Is that what you say, I don't think our Ghanaian politicians and leaders are going to reboot anything especially after they have already got their personal cuts till grave. The happy faces tells you it's not a national cake, it's personal gains.

Impressive 🙌🏾

Our leaders don't think

I’m up for this conversation or group. We can connect on social media and create a group or some sort for this very purpose.

Truth

Masa you stop your negative talk

​@@patrickagyei6547 because you know nothing

The most useless part is the useless speech given by the useless KT HAMMOND who uselessly again classify this under 1D1F.

Serious Issue

When did he became a minister?

He recently became a minister but past ministers in his position may have known

you people paa. a foreigner invests 2 billion to build a business and tells you he loves the country and you actually believe him?

@@JohnDoe-ud9ur you that you love Ghana and are born Ghanaian, what have you done for Ghana?

@@vigilantghanaian8864 I have 2 factories. What have you done?

@@JohnDoe-ud9ur you that you are Ghanaian what factory and millions have you put into Ghana.

What politics? It is largely the work ethics of the Ghanaian(Government business is no man's business) TOR ought to be run by a private entity.

Because of our bad attitude, is not about any politics..until we change our lazy mindset, nothing will work....waste all our time in churches..

You are stack in an old thinking that , govt alone should be responsible for creating job opportunities across. Remember, the people appointed and recruited to work Team Oil Refinery are all Ghanaians. The question is why govt own enterprises across the country are inefficient and and corrupted? This is because, the old guards aren't ready, or unwilling to introduce freshness into the operations. The Board of Directors, the CEO of the Refinery, including the whole management team have bizarrely failed the nation for doing poorly to revive TOR. Our free market and liberalised economy is perfectly designed to allow private capital to operate freely in the country. The inflow of capital from overseas investors into the country are crucial and critical to alleviate the chronic unemployment problem amongst the youth across the country. Regardless of who investment in the country, Ghanafuo ought to change their attitude to work, whether it is govt work, or private employment. Ghanaians employees often don't show up to work, or being late to work, and expecting to be paid. really!

@@richardt1770 forget them...

It is tema oil refinery given to outsiders to upgrade and run it for a given Chinese investors

You're right that man is a joke.

It's a Rattling tactics, nothing substantial in the Head to talk about.

He took over that ministry some few months ago, you don’t expect him to know everything!

it's a chinese that owns it

That's how it's in every where across Europe. You build the nation with private companies. In Europe there's nothing like government work apart from police, soldiers. Everything is private and that's why you can't mess up with your work because your employer will sack you. It's only in Africa you people complain about government work. Government doesn't create jobs in Europe they only tax. Every government work has been destroyed by the Ghanaians. So what are we talking about?

@@nanasarfo3817 Major industries in europe are owned by europeans

This is rather bad news Ghana

People voted for the likes of him because they claimed others were incompetent

Because he took over that ministry not too long ago, you don’t expect him to know everything

Which step.we the nzema needs to collapse this project by all means

Because, state-owned has never worked: you and I will not understand each other as it belongs to the government.

Allow Ghanaians to express their frustrations on things they know will benefit a foreigner and not them.

@@kojokwame5201it’s a win win situation..remember every businessman run business for a profit and not for loss..I guess if the price of fuel comes down because of this refinery, u won’t be happy right, everything some of u Will complain..this is a good news for the country..I don’t care who owns it, this is called direct foreign investment and besides they partnered with some Ghanaians, as long as it will help the fuel price to come down, that’s what matters..Ghanaians cannot own everything in Ghana..u guys talk too much..TOR has been there for years, yet it’s not being run effectively, so because of TOR, we shouldn’t have private owned refinery..some of u need help seriously..

Is it necessary to know the owner? Grow up

​@@richardt1770Yes so we know the business is Ghanaian owned.

@@DirtyEdon What difference does it make, if the owner of the business is Ghanaian? The govt policy of one district one factory is readily available to every Ghanaian who is willing and has the ability to set up a business in the country can apply for Govt financial assistance. Foreign Direct Investment destine to Ghana are also giving special investment packages to enable them to set up businesses in country, so that chunk youth employment in the country can be contained. Unemployment is a big problem in the country and govt is trying hard to lure domestic investors to come on board as well the foreign investors.

NO but AKUFFO ADDO and his family gets a percentage

No 😢

This is owned by a PRIVATE CHINESE COMPANY, Akuffo Addo gets a percentage that is why they have abandoned the one Kwame Nkrumah built at TEMA

Ghana owned, you heard the CEO

chinese

​@@vigilantghanaian8864 Stop deceiving the masses. Let the public know the truth that it belongs to a foreigner.

Hahaha that's the hard truth bro this npp are thieves

@@kweku2664 ???

Why do you have to call Jerry's name in everything negative, focus on those destroying Ghana with all the power they have. It is the political system and the constitution you have to criticise and aim for an inclusive Government system with a socialist mindset, that prioritize all Ghanaian citizens then we will all be happy. Ghanaian and African leaders in general have too much power in their disposal to abuse and evade accountability. We need a prime minister in place of a Prez with limited power. This will enable us change them if they don't do the will of the people without waiting for general elections just like the UK, Sweden, Norway etc. Making the citizens the priority not the politicians. In my opinion this is the way African and Ghana have to go to see a brighter future.

@@lion95877 I appreciate and respect you so much for not insulting. People who don’t agree with you just loose their minds when you say something about someone they idolize. I mentioned Jerry in reference to history. What happened in the past that resulted in the prevailing situation should never ever be forgotten so we don’t repeat it again. Even though some people don’t agree, it is very true that the effects of the excesses of the so-called revolution was devastating. The attack on businesses and businessmen no doubt killed the entrepreneurial spirit of Ghanaians. When I first applied for a business visa as a young man, I was denied initially on the basis of not having a bank account. My answer was that I didn’t save in bank because I didn’t trust a government that interferes in people’s businesses. The consulate new the government could force the banks to provide them with information of targeted businessmen and victimize them. They were satisfied with my answer and gave me the visa! I was stopped at the airport two times and questioned for hours by the BNI as to what business I was doing, where I got the money, how I got the visa and all that nonsense, all because according to them I was too young. So my friend, we need to remind ourselves of the past all the time to inform ourselves of the present and the future. Present and future governments should be pressured to support indigenous businesses. We need to build our own billionaires who will create jobs. Young people should know and understand that governments do not create jobs. Some countries including all the communist and socialist countries in the world tried it in the past, it didn’t work. China is what it is now because fifty years ago it turned around (only its economic policy) and adopted the free market system. As for the present predicament of too much power invested in the executive, I’m sorry to reference history again. Unless you are one of those who refuse to accept the truth when it doesn’t favor them. Again it was your idol JJ and his followers who wrote the constitution as it is now so that he can continue to wield power as he wanted. Not a single person who was opposed to his junta was invited to the constitutional assembly that drafted the constitution. I don’t know how old you are, but matter of fact that was why initially the opposition wanted to campaign against it in the referendum. Later on they changed their minds for a “Yes” vote because it was at least a first step to constitutional democracy. The promise was that it will be amended later. Unfortunately the status quo still remains, because it favors the party in power. Thanks again.

Useless comment! What has Rawlings got to do with this? Wagadri behavior. Speak truth devoid of blaming someone who has no hands in this.

Better Ghana has a mix of state owned and privately owned oli refineries.

Who told you. It is better to be privately owned and made to compete. Remember the bigger one in Nigeria is owned by dangote

Because of this kind of mindset that's why TOR is in a mess.Such businesses are effectively run by private businesses.

​@@jakebaba2149Stop deceiving the public. You've killed the publicly owned by promoting private ones; this is called de-industrialization. We've been privatizing all our industrial sectors after Nkrumah's overthrow and till date nothing is getting better. We have not been able to achieve even jst a lil of Nkrumah's achievement after all this Selfish style of leadership and yet we continue this path. We're heading into garbage 🗑️.

Are you a Togolese?🙄🙄

@@danielnanayawadjeibediako684 who cares? everything he said is 100% correct.

As of this moment it's 700 naija per liter of fuel in Nigeria. The locals which is the very poor majority, dont benefit from Dangote owned oil refinery. Most household there have no power. Four hours of power average per day to those who get it. Proud of Ghana's progress for their people.

@@ancored so you are comfortable with foreigners owning means of productions in your country abi?! I am shocked to the core reading your comment.

@@oluakinwale4859 nothing shocking. It is clear that Nigerian owned does the same as foreign owned businesses. There is no Ghana Dangote as yet but the power supply to household is way better than naija by a long stretch

And God go bring u change 😂Naniama

@@worldincredibletv2846 @ and share it among your kokoasi nkurasifo family.

That's great man
