Ghana lifts ban on 8 oil product firms

Ghana’s National Petroleum Authority has lifted the ban on eight oil marketing and bulk distribution companies suspended for tax evasion, local media reported Wednesday.

The companies had been suspended in July from one to three months for “for their involvement in activities that led to the loss of tax revenue to the government of Ghana,” according to a statement from the institution.
