Ghanaians have been urged to see leading Oil Marketing Company, GOIL, as their own and patronise the services of the company and also invest in its shares.
Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of GOIL, Mr. Kwame Osei Prempeh, who made the call, noted that unlike some of the oil marketing companies which will repatriate their profit, GOIL retains its profits and reinvests them in the country to grow the West African nation’s economy.
He mentioned that GOIL has diversified its operations and is currently building a US$35 million bitumen plant which is about 80 percent complete, invested US$23 million in the construction of an LPG bottling plant and building a 12-storey head office complex.
Apart from these investments, GOIL has supported a number of institutions including donating £70,000 worth Visugauges or internationally verified measuring cans to the Ghana Standards Authority to ensure full quantity delivery of products.
Speaking at the commissioning of the Tema Zonal Office on Thursday, Mr. Kwame Osei Prempeh said: “I want to assure our valued customers that GOIL will continue to protect their interest. Need I repeat here that GOIL is for Ghanaians and, therefore, any Investments by way of patronage of our products in the end benefit our citizens. I, therefore, appeal to Ghanaians to continue keeping faith with GOIL by patronising our products which are of high quality to help stabilise and make our economy strong.
“Let GOIL be your OMC of choice,” Mr. Prempeh added.
Board Chairman of GOIL, Mr. Kwamena Bartels noted that the company is on course to consolidate its status of being the market leader.
“Our bitumen project is over 80 percent complete and work on the construction of plants for gas recirculation project, as well as that of auto gas stations, are all underway,” he said.
Executive Secretary for Chamber of Petroleum Consumers Ghana (COPEC), Duncan Amoah, who graced the commissioning ceremony, applauded GOIL for the investments it continues to make in infrastructure and offering quality fuel to petroleum consumers in the country.
