The Group Chief Executive of GOIL PLC, Mr Kwame Osei-Prempeh, has exited the company with an impressive achievement during his tenure after his contract ended last week.

During his tenure, the company’s retail outlets grew from a little over 300 to 460 stations across the West African nation.

The company also increased its business portfolio by establishing GOIL Bitumen Plant and GOIL Upstream to undertake oil and gas exploration.

Besides, the company constructed five auto gas stations and two LPG Refilling Plant in Kumasi and Tema under the cylinder recirculation model policy introduced by the government to minimise gas explosion and increase LPG access.

Mr Osei-Prempeh was appointed to the board of GOIL PLC in 2017.

Following the retirement of his predecessor, Mr Patrick K.A. Akorli, Mr Osei-Prempeh was appointed in June 2019 as acting Managing Director and Group CEO of GOIL PLC.

He was subsequently confirmed as substantive Group CEO by President Akufo-Addo in November the same year.

Speaking at the company’s annual thanksgiving service which coincided with his farewell service, Mr Osei-Prempeh, a former Member of Parliament and Deputy Attorney General, said working with GOIL had been a wonderful experience.

He said almost five and a half years of being CEO of GOIL had been very remarkable. He commended President Akufo-Addo for giving him the opportunity to serve Ghana through GOIL.

Mr Osei-Prempeh said the company was able to raise funds internally and fully paid the load they contracted for the bitumen plant in Tema.

He praised his predecessor and the board for their support which led to the execution of a number of projects under his tenure.

Additionally, Mr Osei-Prempeh expressed his gratitude to the hard-working staff of GOIL and all the industry players who supported him in diverse ways.
