General Ahiaglo noted that the incident of fraud also had the potential of demotivating staff and destroying the hard-earned reputation and integrity of the authority.

He urged the staff to cultivate the values of hard work, honesty, teamwork and high ethical conduct to be able fulfill the mandate of NLA.
