"Our intentions to intensify downstream businesses, and consequently midstream and upstream activities in Ghana, are also major factors in our decision to proceed along this path," he said. Mr Agyemang-Duah said a major objective of the exercise was to re-position GOIL for the next 50 years to take advantage of the many opportunities that were expected to emerge both locally and internationally. He was happy that local firms submitted bids in direct competition with well-established foreign firms in competing for the right to partner GOIL. 25 May 10
