He therefore called on oil marketing companies who are yet to register with the Association to come on board, for "in unity lies strength".

Mr Agyemang-Duah tasked its members to strictly comply with all laws including anti-trust legislation of Ghana whilst avoiding engagement in product dumping and adulteration practices.
