Star Oil Employs 3106 Ghanaians Across 280 Filling Stations

Star Oil currently directly employs 3,106 Ghanaians with 280 total filling stations across Ghana, Chief Executive Officer Kwame Tieku has revealed. He made this known during an interview on GHOne TV’s #GHOneNews business segment on Friday, October 9, 2026.

According to Mr. Tieku, Star Oil has grown from a small indigenous Oil Marketing Company (OMC) to Ghana’s largest OMC by market share and volume, driven by local content, affordable pricing and quality service delivery. He said all 3,106 employees are Ghanaian youth, with many being pump attendants, drivers, technicians and administrative staff.

The CEO explained that Star Oil’s 280 filling stations are spread across all 16 regions, making fuel accessible even in remote districts. He said the company’s model focuses on Ghanaian ownership, reinvestment and building Ghanaian capacity in the downstream petroleum sector.

Kwame Tieku noted that Star Oil’s expansion has created over 10,000 indirect jobs through transporters, contractors and dealers. He added that the company is investing heavily in LPG infrastructure, lubricants and ultra-modern service centres to compete with multinational OMCs and support government’s 24-hour economy agenda.

Mr. Tieku attributed Star Oil’s success to discipline, transparency and customer trust, stating that the company sells at competitive prices without compromising quality. He thanked Ghanaians for supporting an indigenous brand and promised to expand to 350 stations by end of 2027.

Industry data from the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and Association of Oil Marketing Companies (AOMC) rank Star Oil as the top OMC in Ghana by sales volume in 2024 and 2025, ahead of GOIL and TotalEnergies. Analysts say the story of Star Oil is a clear example of how local Ghanaian companies can dominate key sectors when supported.
