The 2023 edition of the prestigious Ghana Oil and Gas Awards (GOGA), has recognised a total of 38 individuals and companies with various honours for their outstanding roles and contributions towards the growth of the country's oil and gas sector in a ceremony held at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra on Friday.

The Minister of Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh was recognised for his leadership in the sector.

Organised by Xodus Communications Limited, the scheme remains the largest industry initiative dedicated to championing excellence with the aim to celebrate companies and individuals who have distinguished themselves in the upstream and downstream sectors of the industry for the year under review, and for the past ten years since the Award was instituted.

Endorsed by the Ministry of Energy, the event emphasised the strategic role of different sector agencies in achieving the country's energy transition objectives.

Deputy Minister of Energy, Andrew Egyapa Mercer, graced the colourful ceremony as the special guest of Honour, with the oil and gas sector's finest in attendance, including Mr Agyeman Duah, the President of the Association of Oil Marketing Companies, Professor David Atta Peters, Awarding Board Chair and former Board member of the Petroleum Commission.

According to him, exploring the natural resources in the country is very key in the nation’s development, but industry players need to pull resources together for the transformation of the economy.

He added that the Energy Ministry is poised to propel the country to meet its energy target of using power from clean and efficient energy sources.

He congratulated the outstanding contributions of Xodus Communications Limited for their ingenuity in putting together such a unique platform that recognises and celebrates the innovation and excellence of agencies in the industry.

"Climate change is affecting a lot of major decisions in the world. I will urge you all to foster unity as you explore our natural resources for our good benefits. I also want to take the opportunity to commend Xodus Communications Limited for their stunning leadership qualities and exceptional dedication to serve our industry over the years, "Egyapa Mercer noted.

The Events Director of Xodus Communications Limited, Richard Abbey Junior, said the awards initiative has four thematic areas which is stewardship, corporate social responsibility, health, safety environment, and quality, and technology and innovation.

The platform of the event, he added, further promotes the industry's operations for an overall improvement in the national economy.

"Thank God GOGA is 10 years today. It has been a long journey, but the Awarding Board has been keen on credibility, and the team has really worked hard to achieve this milestone. Today, we honour companies and entrepreneurs of the decade who have contributed to the industry."

Xodus Communications Limited is the founder of Ghana Oil and Gas Awards, Ghana Manufacturing Awards, Ghana Insurance Awards, Forty under 40 Africa, Ghana, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
