MP advises workers to give off their best

Koforidua, Jan 5, GNA - The Member of Parliament for Koforidua, Ms Beatrice B. Boateng, has appealed to workers to give off their best to enable their establishments to expand to create more jobs for others. She said this at a workers' award night organized by the Management of Mac-Dic Enterprise for the staff of Mac-Dic Royal Plaza Hotel in Koforidua. Eighteen workers of the hotel were given awards for their dedication. The best worker award of a 21-inch television set, a DVD player and a standing fan went to Mr. Joseph Okyere.

Ms Boateng commended management of the hotel for helping to create employment for 85 youth in the New Juaben Municipality. She expressed the hope that management would aspire to create more jobs in the Municipality.

The Eastern Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, said the Regional Co-ordinating Council would create the necessary atmosphere to ensure that investors in the region have peace. He commended the Regional Police Command on its efforts to bring security to the doorsteps of the people that had helped to reduce crime in the Koforidua Municipality and said the measure would be replicated in other parts of the region.

Mr Ofosu-Ampofo said the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) had taken over the management of Hotel EREDEC in Koforidua to be used to train people in the hospitality industry. He urged the staff of Mac-Dic Royal Plaza to take advantage of that facility to upgrade themselves.

Mr Sampson Donkor, Eastern Regional Director of the Ghana Tourist Board, called for continuous improvement in the human resources base of the hotel. He congratulated the management of the hotel for recognizing the role of the staff in their success story.

Nana Twinin, the Managing Director of Mac-Dic Royal Plaza, thanked groups, individuals and organizations for the various roles that they played in ensuring the progress of the hotel.
