GPHA marks 40 years with wellness drive, plans sports center

The Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) is prioritizing staff welfare by planning a dedicated sports center to foster recreational and wellness activities. This initiative aims to provide a permanent space for fitness programs, sporting events, and other engagement activities designed to boost the physical, mental, and social well-being of its employees.

The facility, when completed, will provide a permanent space for fitness programmes, sporting events and other staff engagement initiatives aimed at improving the physical, mental and social well-being of employees.

The announcement came as Director of Port, Tema, Tebon Zumah, led a health and awareness walk. This event, part of the GPHA's 40th-anniversary celebrations, saw enthusiastic participation from management, staff, retirees, families, and union members, showcasing unity and solidarity.

Amidst music and dancing, participants promoted healthy living while celebrating the GPHA's four decades of service to the maritime and trade sectors. Mr. Zumah commended the staff and retirees for their dedication, acknowledging their collective efforts in maintaining public confidence in Ghana's ports and trade facilitation agenda.

We could reach a situation where, militarily, there is no question about who won. But strategically, what matters is who is under greater pressure to reach a settlement. I'm not convinced that even after bombing Iran, the American pressure to reach an agreement would not be greater.

Zumah indicated that management is considering making the health walk a recurring event due to its recognized benefits. He urged employees to maintain their commitment to excellence, ensuring the Ports of Tema and Takoradi remain competitive trade gateways in the sub-region. Similarly, Captain James Richmond Quayson, Director of Port, Takoradi, lauded the GPHA's growth into a major shipping hub and praised the staff's commitment to service delivery.

Mr. Zumah said management was considering making the health walk a regular feature on the Authority’s calendar, citing its physical, mental and social benefits.
