The Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD) on Tuesday paid a courtesy visit to the Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) to deepen engagement and strengthen industry collaboration.
The CBOD Ghana delegation was led by CEO Dr. Patrick Ofori, accompanied by Richard Kissi (Head, Finance & Industry Operations), Angela Osei-Badu (Member Relations & HR Manager), Ebenezer Yidana (Research Officer), Evelyn Asare (Corporate and External Affairs Officer), and Oscar Cyril K. Mingah (Operations Assistant Officer).
The COMAC team was led by CEO Riverson Oppong, PhD, together with Mohammed (Mo) Issah (Director for Policy & Regulations), Samuel Wristberg (Head of Policy & Research), Adjoa Baah Akuffo, Esq. (Head of Administration and Legal Advisor), Abena Ofosua Larbi (Senior Corporate Communication Officer), Courage Agblevor (Senior Compliance Officer), and Genny Dodoo (Executive Assistant).
Both teams shared perspectives on their organizations’ governance structures, operational realities, and the key issues affecting not only their members but the downstream petroleum industry as a whole.
The dialogue was solution-driven, focusing on compliance and enforcement standards, member subscription frameworks, pricing dynamics, and the broader commercial and regulatory environment shaping the sector.
Discussions also emphasized product quality assurance, brand integrity, and operational discipline as critical drivers of market confidence.
In this regard, both organisations explored the need to institutionalise a joint Dispute Resolution Committee, alongside strengthening credit and financial risk management mechanisms to enhance accountability and industry stability.
The meeting further outlined clear pathways for structured collaboration — particularly where unified advocacy, strategic policy engagement, and coordinated industry action can drive sustainable growth and stability within the sector.
