According to her, government will be responsible for all expenses and finances and ensure that nobody use the opportunity to siphon money from the nations coffers.
She explained that the amount will cover the manufacturing of number plates, printing of documents and other materials relating to the re-registration exercise.

The President, in his first State of the Nation Address directed that proactive system should be implemented to monitor the movement and utilization of all motorized vehicles belonging to the government.

In pursuant to this directive, the ministry of Transport through the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has directed various Ministries, Departments, Agencies as well as Regional Coordinating Councils, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies to summit all government vehicles to all DVLA offices for re-registration.
  
The registration starting from January is expected to end by May. The exercise will also affect future registration of government vehicle.

This re-registration exercise is to ensure judicious application of government expenditure on the utilization of government vehicle.

Why Companies need to strengthen their Internal Communications to enhance employee engagement

It is said that Richard Branson, Founder of Virgin has an interesting formula; a formula which makes Virgin one of the most popular brands in the world. His formula is that always put the employee first because “Happy employees equal happy customers”. Similarly, he is said to believe in the fact that an unhappy employee can ruin the brand experience for not just one, but numerous customers and ensures that his employees are well taken care of, by going as far as to collect feedback by walking around the cabin and talking directly to the staff during his Virgin flights. So what is his rationale for doing this? Mr Branson believes that making employees the top priority can bring benefits for both customers and investors. He posits an employee-centric management strategy and in a 2014 interview noted that Virgin employees are the company's top priority; a position which might sounds counter to age-old business wisdom but he points out that this approach has worked so well for V...

It was an exciting moment to see school children ran to share the joy we came with and the everlasting smile on their faces during our Shelter for Education #Homecoming trip. It threw me back to my primary school days at Nsakina in the Ga West District in 1999, I was in class one. We lacked a lot of basic learning materials which included desks and tables. We had to bring our own tables and chairs to school. The perseverance led some of us through, while others dropped out because the setting and the structures was not attractive to studies enough. You come to school and you virtually had to write on the floor. The fortunate ones had writing board. The whole experience was challenging. It casts my mind back to when finally the government decided to release desks to us. The day the desks arrived, we went home late while others stayed on and wrote their names on the desks to identify it the next day. Being in Tupa and Adeiso both in the Greater Accra and Eastern Region respectively...
