TOR recovery creates 1,657 permanent and temporary jobs, and 6,500 indirect jobs. Managing Director Edmond Kombat disclosed this.
He said the employment opportunities formed part of the broader economic benefits.
The recovery programme created opportunities for young engineers, technical workers and local contractors. 415 young engineers were recruited into permanent positions. 301 temporary workers were engaged for the CDU maintenance and another 287 for work on the RFCC unit.
TOR had faced significant operational challenges before the current management assumed office in May 2025. Its Crude Distillation Unit had been shut down since April 2021.
The RFCC unit had been inactive since 2019. Management introduced Project Restore TOR, which prioritised the rehabilitation and restart of the CDU.
Mr Kombat said management had also addressed more than 300 outstanding staff petitions and promotion-related cases. Efforts to improve staff welfare included reviewing conditions of service, job descriptions and performance-management systems. The refinery's recovery programme includes further work on the RFCC unit, boiler systems, crude-heating equipment and other infrastructure.
Mr Kombat said the planned expansion of TOR would support additional economic opportunities. Ghana seeks to increase domestic refining capacity. Management intends to pursue further development projects, including a new refinery, petrochemical facilities and additional storage capacity.
Edmond Kombat said the objective was to build a more sustainable refinery. This would contribute to employment, industrial development and national energy security.
TOR records GHS 1.24 billion profit in 2025 after a decade of losses. TOR revival boosts Burkina Faso fuel supply through Ghana to 40%.
