GOIL Group CEO, Board Chairman and Prof. Azumah Nelson(R) leading the walk
GOIL has undertaken a 10-kilometre walk in Accra as part of activities to celebrate Ghana’s 66th Independence Day.
It was on the theme: “Good Energy for a healthy Nation,” intended to draw awareness on the need to stay fit to meaningfully contribute to national development.
The walk, which was led by the Group CEO/MD of GOIL, Kwame Osei Prempeh, Board Chairman, Mr. Reginald Daniel Laryea, and GOIL’s Brand Ambassador, Prof. Azumah Nelson, was also attended by over 1,500 persons including management, staff, keep-fit clubs, and some corporate partners of GOIL.
The over two-hour walk began at the El-Wak Stadium after a brief aerobics exercise.
The enthusiastic participants trekked through the Aviation area, Airport Street, 37 Military Hospital road to Jubilee House and Christ the King School.
The last leg of the walk saw the team heading towards the DVLA head office before ending at the El-Wak Stadium. A 15-minute aerobics exercise climaxed the well-attended event.
The Group CEO and MD, Kwame Osei Prempeh, said as the country’s proud heritage, GOIL associates itself with the celebration of Ghana’s 66th Independence Day, pledging its continued commitment to serve consumers.
He noted that the celebration of the country’s 66th independence anniversary should always remind Ghanaians about the capability of Ghanaians, as shown by GOIL, to manage their own affairs. He appealed to consumers to continue patronising GOIL fuels and lubricants.
The Board Chairman, Reginald Daniel Laryea, stressed the importance of fitness of staff and workers noting that, “GOIL is nothing without you. You make GOIL happy when you patronise our products because you believe in quality and preserving the life span of your vehicles, ” adding “we thank you for making the right choice all the time.”
GOIL’s Brand Ambassador, Prof. Azumah Nelson, suggested regular exercises and urged the participants, especially staff and management of GOIL, to continue keeping fit.
Prizes were awarded to individuals who distinguished themselves during the walk, including the most enduring participants aged between 65–70 years, and others who walked briskly during the 10km distance. The topmost prizes were the ‘Good Energy Award’, ‘the Brand Ambassador Award’, and the ‘Group CEO Award’.
