Oil marketing company, GOIL, has announced a nationwide renovation of 270 GOIL fuel stations by December 2025 as part of its broader modernisation strategy.

Thirty out of the 50 dealer-managed outlets would be refurbished into a modern pump station.

Edward Abambire Bawa, Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director, announced this at a dealer engagement forum in the Western Region

“This initiative goes beyond aesthetics,” he explained. “It’s about ensuring our stations are fully equipped, attractive, and capable of offering world-class services at competitive prices”, he mentioned

Mr. Bawa also hinted at current engagements with the Presidency to secure additional petroleum supply volumes.

According to him, this is aimed at ensuring a more affordable and steady fuel delivery across the country.

Roll Out of Digital Platform

The OMC is also positioning the business to boost operational efficiency by rolling out a digital platform to provide dealers with real-time access to their account balances and monthly statements.

“No more waiting for updates from middle-level staff—you’ll be able to log in and view your statement anytime,” he stated.

The firm’s digital transformation agenda, he pointed out, will span internal systems and customer interfaces, positioning GOIL as a modern, agile, and future-ready energy company.

“There is light at the end of the tunnel,” Mr. Bawa concluded. “GOIL is not just a business—it’s a legacy. Together, we’ll build a company that is modern, trusted, and proudly Ghanaian.”

Call for Fair Fuel Import Permits

Mr. Bawa also advocated for an open and timelier allocation of petroleum import permits—commonly known as laycans—to sustain the firm’s instrumental role in Ghana’s energy security and socio-economic development.

He reiterated GOIL’s national service obligations, especially in remote and low-profit areas, highlighting the increasing challenges posed by operational bottlenecks.

“GOIL goes where others won’t—because there’s a hospital, a school, or a community in need,” he pointed out. “But when laycan allocations are delayed or denied, it affects our ability to deliver fuel to these vital institutions and underserved regions.”

Reaffirming GOIL’s position as a dependable national brand, he noted: “GOIL is what it is today because of the people behind it—our dealers, staff, and loyal customers. You are the reason GOIL continues to stand tall.”

He also highlighted GOIL’s enduring reputation as a homegrown brand synonymous with reliability, and quality. “Wherever you go across the country, our brand is recognised not just for our prices, but for our consistency and dependability,” he added.

The dealer engagement forms part of a nationwide stakeholder consultation series aimed at strengthening partnerships, driving growth, and enhancing customer satisfaction across the GOIL network
