UniBank on Wednesday joined the Ghana Oil & Gas Service Providers Association at the Palms by Eagles Hotel in Takoradi to mark 10 years of oil discovery in Ghana.
The conference, organized under the theme “10 years of oil discovery in commercial quantities; the past, present and the way forward,” was organized in conjunction with the oil service provider companies to discuss issues relating to promoting and ensuring local content in Ghana’s oil production.
Speaking on the subject, Member of Parliament (MP) for Takoradi Constituency and Deputy Minister for Aviation, Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, explained that the purpose and consequent benefit of oil discovery in Ghana will be defeated, if critical attention, is not given to the promotion of local content.
Joseph Cudjoe, Deputy Minister of Energy, also stressed the need for enactment and implementation of polices that will help Ghanaians reap the desired benefits of the country’s oil production.
uniBank, an indigenous bank and an expressly visible example of a local content advocate, supported the conference in its quest to signal oil service providers that indigenous companies are prepared to support and partner their undertakings.
