The acting Director-General of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), Brigadier General Paul Seidu Tanye-Kulono, has called on staff of the authority to sustain discipline, fairness and teamwork to enhance growth and efficiency.
Speaking at a staff durbar to officially welcome him, Brig. Gen. Tanye-Kulono stressed the need for punctuality, commitment and collaboration among employees.
"Let's be disciplined. We must be punctual at work, and we must all lead by example. The second principle is fairness. I will treat everyone here fairly. This is the time to build this institution so that in 50 years, you can return and be proud," he said.
The event, attended by management and staff, marked the beginning of his tenure, and provided an opportunity for him to engage with the workforce.
