Ghana’s indigenous and leading Oil Marketing Company, GOIL, has opened a Zonal Office in Kpone near Tema, Ghana’s industrial city.
The ultra-modern Zonal Office will serve the company’s operations in the Tema business enclave, Ashaiman, Kpone, Somanya Districts, Volta and Oti Regions.
The project was awarded in 2017 but actual work began in January 2020 and completed and handed over in February 2021.
Speaking at the commissioning of the Zonal Office on Thursday, Board Chairman of GOIL, Kwamena Bartels said the opening of the office marks a key milestone in the life of GOIL.
According to him, the increasing growth in business and expansion of the Tema port influenced the company to prepare adequately to capitalise on opportunities the port expansion offers.
Although the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic affected the petroleum downstream business in 2020, Kwamena Bartels said GOIL is still positive about the future and is determined to position the company to capitalise on new opportunities as the company rebounds.
Group CEO and Managing Director of GOIL, Kwame Osei Prempeh said the company, over the last few years, has tried to modernise its infrastructure to be in tune with its modernisation and expansion drive.
He said this drive has involved in upgrading of the company’s service stations, improvement in customer service and ensuring product quantity.
He was hopeful that the Tema Zonal Office would go a long way to facilitate smooth business transactions and boost productivity and morale of staff.
