The 9th edition of the Ghana Oil and Gas Awards (GOGA) has taken place at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.
The prestigious event, organized by Xodus Communications Limited in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Graphic News Plus, is a platform for the Oil and Gas industry to demonstrate and celebrate the advances made in key areas when it comes to stewardship, efficiency, innovation, leadership, corporate social responsibility, health and safety.
Addressing the audience at the event, Chief Executive Officer of Xodus Communications Limited, Richard Abbey Junior said, his organisation is currently in the final stages of implementing ISO 20121 in their operations.
According to him, implementing and complying with the ISO 20121 standard would help to manage events and control their social, economic, and environmental impact.
"The ISO 20121 standard specifies the requirements for an event sustainability management system. It would also help us improve our awards transparency, integrity, and professionalism while ensuring our resources' efficient use," he said.
Richard Abbey Junior also took the opportunity to call on stakeholders to support the establishment of a petroleum hub in Ghana.
He added that, Ghana imports in excess of over 100 million US dollars of petroleum products, hence the country cannot have oil and be poor.
"I call on stakeholders to support the Petroleum Hub initiative so that we can curb the depreciation of our currency and reduce imports of petroleum products. This action comes with a political will and we hope government and successive ones will align in that regard," he said.
Mr. Agyeman Duah, the Industry Coordinator of the Association of Oil Marketing Companies, in a solidarity speech encouraged nominees to keep thriving despite the numerous challenges. He congratulated Xodus Communications for its consistency in putting up such a credible awards scheme.
