Industry coordinator Mr Kwaku Agyeman-Duah took journalists through a presentation which touched on progress, emerging challenges and the way forward.
Vice President of the association and CEO of Petrosol, Mr Michael Bozumbil noted that oil marking companies are major contributors of the Ghanaian economy.
He said apart from the huge taxes they pay to the government, they are also supporting the tourism industry because the washrooms in their outlets are mostly used by tourists who come into the country.
