Petroleum Company of the year, consolidating its position as the number one Oil marketing
Company in the Country.

Accra, confirms the biggest indigenous marketing entity’s role as also as an important player in
the competitive sector. GOIL won the award in 2015 and its MD, Patrick Akorli is the immediate
past CIMG Man of the Year.

percent of market share and has been posting impressive results, recording 58.7 percent
increase in profit after tax in 2016, a 26.95 percent increase in turnover compared to that of
2015.
The biggest indigenous marketing entity continues to make strides, venturing big into the
bunkering sector. In line with the company’s expansion drive, a 13.5m litre capacity MGO
bunkering facility has recently been commissioned in Takoradi Port at a cost of 15 million
dollars. Already, a modern 4000m 3 MGO bunkering facility fitted with a filtration and coalescing
unit at the Sekondi Naval Base is in operation.

The Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana’s Man of the year 2015 was addressing a room filled with stakeholders from different sectors across the country on ‘Creating leaders for the country’s development’ at Swiss Spirit Alisa Hotel in Accra.
“The idea is not to come and lecture you about the book interpretation of leadership… we want to look at the practicality of the thing because we’ve become theories. We’re all talking, nobody wants to work. Whilst others are working 24 hours, we decide to be talking half the day, everyone in Ghana we’re talking. Those who are working are few, and the whole thing is about production” Mr. Akorli said.
He stressed on the need for leaders to be vision led and be geared with adequate knowledge about the terrain.
“If you want to become a leader, first you must have knowledge about your terrain, because if you don’t have knowledge about the terrain and you don’t have any vision; you don’t have any dream, how’re you going to lead,” he quizzed.
“You just talk around things and you cannot push things forward”, he added.
Other people present at the programme were Business Development Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Ibrahim Awal, Brand Ambassador for GOIL, Azumah Nelson, representatives of Young African Leadership Initiative (YALI) and former board members of the Ghana Oil Company Limited.
