\nMr Hosi, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors is credited with developing the Chamber into a major representative, advocacy, and lobby and industry strategy and policy organisation in the Ghanaian and West African downstream petroleum industry.<\/p>\nHis advocacy and policy analysis served as the catalyst for key policy decisions including petroleum price deregulation that saved the Ghanaian economy 500 million US Dollars every year in unbudgeted subsidies; the low sulphur policy that introduced cleaner fuels by adopting low sulphur petroleum standards (from 3000ppm to 50ppm); and the development of the conceptual framework and design for the adoption of the Energy Sector Levies Act.<\/p>\n
The government of Ghana recently ring-fenced proceeds from the levies as collateral for Ghana\u2019s first energy bonds to address the energy sector\u2019s debt of about 2.5 billion US Dollars. This contribution to the industry provided a remarkable turnaround in Ghana\u2019s economic, financial and energy prospects.<\/p>\n
This intervention has further turned around the dwindling commercial fortunes of a hitherto heavily indebted downstream sector.<\/p>\n
His outright advocacy backed with solution oriented policy analysis has made him a constant reference for policy proposals by both the public and private sectors. Together with his fine lobbying skills, he has become an industry leader from behind.<\/p>\n
Mr Hosi has effectively managed competing interests of 30 oil companies in the Chamber to collectively work towards driving sustainable policies within the industry.<\/p>\n
He is a key resource person for major regional downstream platforms like OTL Africa, Argus Media Road Conference, Africa Oil and Gas Summit among others.<\/p>\n
He serves on various major public and private boards including the Ministry of Energy\u2019s Ministerial Advisory Board, Ghana Highways Authority, Private Enterprises Federation, NDK Capital and Legacy Bonds Limited.<\/p>\n
He holds an MBA in Finance and an MA in Economic Policy Management.<\/p>\n
