“Ladies and gentlemen, we must be mindful of the fact that we need a critical mass to change the conduct of business, you know, at the country for the better. We all want to see Ghana Beyond Aid,” he said.
He stated that the IoD-Ghana platform was an opportune platform for networking and learning from global best practices.
“In this probably many opportunities abound including the platform for networking amongst your peers. Director practitioners are able to remain updated in their knowledge, keep up with development in their areas of practice and enhance their fitness to practice, which also enhances professional satisfaction,” he said.
