All is set for the launch of the maiden awards to honour service stations that are committed to providing quality service for consumers of petroleum products.
“The good works and commitment of some Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to provide best petroleum products through best processes in the best environments deserve high ovation,” according to Purple Energy Ghana, the main collaborator of the Filling/Service Station Awards Ghana (FiSA).
Indeed, for the ordinary taxi, trotro and private vehicle user, this means a gain in demand for value for money and quality of petroleum products served at service/filling stations.
FiSA technical team said "the awards are a sure help to the work of state regulators like the National Petroleum Authority and the Ghana Standard Authority in controlling the market against adulterated products and fake ones.”
FiSA will award Filling/Service Stations under three main categories, namely Capacity Awards, which are Best OMC Stations - Human Service; Best OMC Stations - Brand/Advertisement, Best OMC Stations - IT & Physical Infrastructure, Best OMC Stations - Environmental Friendliness and Best OMC – Fuel Economy Adviser.
It will also award Product Quality & Quantity category, which covers Quality/Quantity Super/Petrol Award (Unleaded), Quality/Quantity Argo/Diesel Award (Unleaded), Improved Fuels–Super/Petrol, Improved Fuels–Argo/Diesel, Best Fuel Card Service and Best Lube Bay.
The awards cover the Individual Awards category, which honour the Most Customer Focused Service Stations Award (Overall), Pump Attendant of the Year, Station Manager/Supervisor of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Award, Lifetime Achievement Award and National Strategic Programme for fuel quality & quantity at OMC stations.
FiSA awards are largely consumer survey awards, under which winning decisions will largely involve opinions from the ordinary consumers of petroleum products and the general public. - GNA
