The Managing Director of GOIL Kwame Osei Prempeh has been adjudged the CEO of the Year 2020 (Downstream) at the recently held Ghana Oil & Gas Awards event in Accra.

He was given the award in recognition of his role in building GOIL as a highly respected OMC brand in the country.

Mr Osei Premeph was honoured for his key role in advocating for best business practices and the creation of a conducive business climate in Ghana.
