Hundreds of residents of Accra and surrounding towns joined Ghana’s leading indigenous Oil Marketing Company (OMC), GOIL PLC, to embark on a 10-kilometre walk on Monday, 6th March 2023, to celebrate Ghana’s 66th Independence Day anniversary.
Dubbed ‘Walk with GOIL’, the 10 kilometres’ walk attracted individuals, associations, petroleum industry players and some banking sector players.
Among key personalities who featured in the walk were Mr Kwame Osei Prempeh, Managing Director and Group CEO of GOIL Plc, Professor Azumah Nelson, a former World Boxing Authority Champion, Mr John Boadu, former General Secretary of the governing NPP, and Board Member of GOIL Plc.
Reginald Daniel Laryea, Board Chairman of GOIL Plc, Duncan Amoah, Executive Secretary of Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC), Dr Suleiman, International Petroleum consultant, and some officials of the Association of Oil Marketing Companies (AOMC) joined in the walk.
The participants trekked from the El-Wak Sports stadium through the Aviation Social Centre road, Airport roundabout, 37 Military Hospital road, Jubilee House, Switch back road and back to the El-wak Sports Stadium
Addressing the participants, the Managing Director and Group CEO of GOIL Plc commended the participants for taking time out of their busy schedule to join the company for the walk.
Mr Osei Prempeh said GOIL has been supportive of Ghana’s economic development by selling quality fuel to facilitate movement of goods and services.
He urged consumers to continue to patronise the services of GOIL Plc, saying, “GOIL sells the best fuel.”
Board Chairman of GOIL Plc, Reginald Daniel Laryea stressed the importance of fitness of staff and the workers, stating that “GOIL is nothing without you. You make GOIL happy when you patronise our products because you believe in quality and preserving the life span of your vehicles. We thank you for making the right choice all the time.”
GOIL’s Brand Ambassador, Professor Azumah Nelson suggested regular exercises and urged the participants especially staff and management of GOIL, to continue keeping fit because it would help keep everyone away from doctors.
