At a ceremony to hand over the facility, The Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of GOIL, Kwame Osei Prempeh said GOIL and STC have been close partners for decades, and the project was part of a B2B collaboration between two national entities committed to giving the people the best of service.
He touted the efficacy of GOIL products, adding that the company would continue to offer quality fuel and lubricants such as the SUPER XP RON 95 and DIESEL XP to the public and commended STC for sticking with GOIL over the years.
The Managing Director of Intercity STC Limited, Nana Akomea, expressed gratitude to GOIL for the collaboration, adding that the new bus terminal would help increase revenue of Intercity STC Limited.
