Gulf Energy commissions 50-bed accommodation facility for military

Gulf Energy Ghana Limited has commissioned a 50-bed facility worth GHC 300,000 for the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) training base at Bundase, in the Greater Accra Region.

The GHC 300,000 housing facility forms part of the corporate social responsibilities of the firm to enhance lives and contribute to the infrastructure development of the country.

The General Manager of Gulf Energy, Martin Agboyo, who represented Board Chairman and Council of State Member for the Oti Region, Richard K. Atikpo, at the unveiling ceremony revealed that the company and its subsidiaries are committed to enhancing the lives and welfare of everyday Ghanaian.

“It is a day of pride and honour to see this facility. At Gulf Energy, we are committed to supporting the effort of the State in any way possible as demonstrated in the paying of taxes diligently and the support we have offered various worthy causes over the years.

“Giving back to the community is one we find delight in and our doors are very much open to supporting other causes which will benefit the society at large,” he stated.

Addressing the dignitaries present, Chief of Air Staff Air Vice-Marshal Frank Hanson expressed his excitement at the realization of one of his key visions which were to see an upgrade of his force in the area of accommodation.

For him, the facility is a welcome relief to trainees at the military base who until now were housed in tents and a dormitory and at the mercy of the weather.

Gulf Energy is an indigenous petroleum products marketing company that continues to demonstrate good corporate citizenship and promotion of national development.
