GOIL has also set up a Ȼ60 million fund to support victims and their dependents.

Managing Director of the indigenous oil marketing company, Patrick Akorli said GOIL will also contribute to the President’s pledge.

The company lost eight of its staff at the 24-hour service station at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle during the fire.

Tens of passengers, drivers and petrol station attendants were burnt to death in a horrifying fire incident at the fuel station while taking refuge there from the torrential rains.

GOIL is working closely with the Ghana Fire Service to ascertain the cause of the fire.

Joy News’ Presidential Correspondent Seth Kwame Boateng said the president and his entourage went to the Police Hospital from where they continued to the 37 Military Hospital.
