The 9th edition of the Ghana Oil and Gas Awards (GOGA), on Friday, December 9, 2022, announced its winners at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.
The prestigious event organized by Xodus Communications Limited in Partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Graphic News Plus, is a platform for the Oil and Gas industry to demonstrate and celebrate the advances made in key areas of the environmental stewardship, efficiency, innovation, leadership, Corporate Social Responsibility and health and safety.
Addressing the guests at the event, Chief Executive Officer of Xodus Communications Ltd. Richard Abbey Junior said, his organisation is currently in the final stages of implementing ISO 20121 in its operations.
According to him, implementing and complying with the ISO 20121 standards would help to manage events and control their social, economic, and environmental impact.
“Xodus communications is currently in the final stages of implementing ISO 20121 in our operations. The ISO 20121 standard specifies the requirements for an event sustainability management system. It would also help us improve our awards transparency, integrity, and professionalism while ensuring our resources’ efficient use”, he said.
Richard Abbey Jnr. also took the opportunity to call on stakeholders to support the establishment of a petroleum hub in Ghana.
He said Ghana imports over 100 million US dollars worth of petroleum products despite being an oil producer.
“I call on stakeholders to support the Petroleum Hub initiative so that we can curb the depreciation of our currency and reduce imports of petroleum products. These actions come with a political will, and we hope the current government and successive ones will align in that regard”, he said.
Mr. Agyeman Duah, the Industry Coordinator of the Association of Oil Marketing Companies encouraged nominees to keep thriving despite the challenges they face in the sector. He congratulated Xodus Communications for its consistency in organising such a credible Awards scheme.
