GOIL PLC, under the leadership of its Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. Edward Abambire Bawa, has held a strategic engagement session with the leadership of the GOIL Transporters Union to discuss ongoing reforms, innovations, and measures aimed at enhancing operational efficiency across the company’s logistics and distribution network.

The meeting forms part of the Group CEO’s broader stakeholder engagement initiative, designed to strengthen collaboration, deepen transparency, and ensure that all key partners remain aligned with the company’s long-term strategic direction.

Mr. Bawa expressed profound appreciation to the transporters for their unwavering dedication and the critical role they continue to play in the company’s growth. He explained that the meeting was motivated by his desire to connect with what he described as “members of the GOIL household,” to listen to their experiences and ensure that every operational layer is aligned with GOIL’s mission of excellence, safety, innovation, and accountability.

Providing an update on ongoing reforms, the Group CEO highlighted new systems being implemented to streamline operations - particularly in the areas of claims processing and product allocation. He noted that delays in the payment of transporters’ claims have largely been due to late submissions. To address this, GOIL has developed a new automated claims processing system, which is currently undergoing testing. Once fully deployed, the system will significantly expedite verification and payment timelines, ensuring a more seamless process for transporters.

Mr. Bawa further revealed that a dedicated team has been commissioned to audit the product loading and allocation processes to promote fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity for all transporters across the distribution chain.

The Chairman of the Transporters Union, Dr. (Med) Samuel Asiamah, commended the Group CEO for his vision and commitment to strengthening the bond between management and the transporters.

Dr. Asiamah reiterated the union’s readiness to continue supporting GOIL’s strategic growth and sustainability agenda.

Mr. Bawa also disclosed that out of a total claims bill of approximately GHS 207 million covering part of 2024 to August 2025, GOIL has already paid about GHS 157 million, leaving a reduced outstanding balance, highlighting management’s commitment to honouring its obligations despite financial pressures within the petroleum downstream sector.

Concluding his remarks, Mr. Bawa reaffirmed GOIL’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards of product quality, safety, and service delivery. He encouraged transporters to uphold discipline, professionalism, and integrity in their operations, emphasizing that their contribution remains central to GOIL’s status as Ghana’s leading indigenous oil marketing company.
