A group of over 100 irate young men stormed the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) on January 8, less than 24 hours after the swearing-in of President John Dramani Mahama. 



The group demanded the immediate removal of appointees from the previous administration, insisting that no official from the outgoing government should remain in office.



Sources within the refinery reported that some members of the group also expressed their desire for employment under the new administration. 



Their demands highlighted the frustrations of youth seeking opportunities in a challenging job market.



The situation escalated to the point where intervention was necessary. TOR&#8217;s security personnel stepped in to calm the crowd, successfully persuading them to leave the premises without any incidents.



The Tema Oil Refinery, which boasts a processing capacity of 45,000 barrels per stream day, has remained non-operational for several months due to challenges faced by the previous administration. 



Efforts to secure a private partner to revive TOR&#8217;s operations have proven unsuccessful, leaving the facility idle and contributing to local economic frustrations.



As the new government settles in, the demands from the youth at TOR reflect a broader call for accountability and job creation within the country.
