The Institute of Engineers & Technology (IET), Ghana, has honoured the Managing Director of Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) Ltd., Edmond Kombat, for his exemplary leadership in restoring the long-dormant refinery to productive operation.<\/p>\n

The recognition was conferred at the Institute\u2019s 29th Annual General Meeting and Induction Ceremony held on 27 November 2025.<\/p>\n

The award follows an official visit by the IET in October to assess progress on TOR\u2019s comprehensive turnaround maintenance programme. <\/p>\n

The delegation noted with admiration that all ongoing works were being executed by Ghanaian engineers\u2014many of whom are members of the Institute. <\/p>\n

The team praised the refinery\u2019s renewed momentum and commended Mr Kombat for his confidence in domestic technical expertise.<\/p>\n

Mr Kombat, who attended the ceremony as a guest of honour, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the unexpected recognition.<\/p>\n

\"Institute<\/figure>\n

He reaffirmed TOR\u2019s commitment to placing Ghanaian professionals at the forefront of its transformation agenda.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, he stressed that the refinery\u2019s longstanding challenges stemmed not from inadequate engineering capacity but from a deficit in effective leadership. <\/p>\n

He emphasised that Ghana possesses the human capital required to drive national industrial progress, underscoring the need for strong, visionary stewardship to unlock the country\u2019s full potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
