Star Oil donates GH¢1m to CID for new cell facility

Star Oil Ghana has contributed GH¢1 million to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to aid the construction of a new facility for the department's headquarters. The project envisions a three-story building to house detention cells, offices, a conference room, and a cafeteria for officers. CID Director expressed gratitude for Star Oil's support, noting that the department lacked a detention facility at its headquarters for some time, leading to suspects being transferred to other stations.

Construction began in August following a year-long delay caused by the rainy season. The CEO of Star Oil emphasized that the donation was a result of the company's collaborative relationship with the CID and the department's role in ensuring the security of its business operations. The estimated cost of the project is GH¢11 million, with completion expected within a year.
