Takoradi, Sept 14, GNA – Ms Joyce Aryee, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, has advised media practitioners to be conscious of time and avoid lateness to functions. She said the culture of many people attending functions late including those in the media in the name of “African punctuality” was negative, retards progress and is un-courteous.
Ms Aryee said this at a press soiree the chamber organised for media practitioners in the Western Region on Wednesday that saw most of media practitioners coming in late.
“Lets get a new time culture by valuing time and avoid attending functions late. Good time management is essential to any development agenda”.
Ms. Aryee said developed countries had learnt to manage their time well and Ghanaians must adopt this habit because it is beneficial. Some of the latecomers, who were mostly from private radio stations and arrived when the function was about to end, explained to their colleagues that they had to prepare and read bulletins before they left their offices.
