The Annual Awards Parade hosted by the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority at the MPS Terminal 3 in the Tema Harbour was a momentous occasion, providing a platform to acknowledge and celebrate the exceptional achievements of its dedicated staff. The recipients of the awards were not only recognized with applause but also received tangible rewards in the form of a diverse range of appliances and commendatory citations, including refrigerators, air conditioners, fans, blenders, and other practical items.
Beyond individual recognitions, the ceremony took a broader scope by honoring the top three tax-paying companies currently operating in Ghana—British American Tobacco Ghana Limited, Wilmar Africa Limited, and Scancom PLC. These companies earned acclaim for their substantial contributions to the nation’s economic growth. The recognition served not only as an appreciation of their commitment but also as a call to other enterprises to follow suit, fostering a culture of compliance in the face of the Ghana Revenue Authority’s persistent efforts to combat tax evasion.
Addressing the gathering, Christiana Adjei, the Sector Commander for the Tema Collection, delivered a poignant message on the significance of recognizing and rewarding hardworking officers. She underscored how such acknowledgments play a pivotal role in enhancing productivity and, consequently, maximizing revenue for national development. Despite the challenges encountered in revenue mobilization throughout the year, Adjei expressed pride in the team’s significant milestones, showcasing resilience and dedication.
In her remarks, Adjei extended heartfelt congratulations to the various awardees, commending them for their outstanding contributions. Moreover, she took a moment to express gratitude to the entire staff and stakeholders, emphasizing the invaluable support received throughout the year. The ceremony not only served as a testament to the achievements of the Customs Division but also highlighted the collaborative efforts necessary for sustained success in revenue collection and economic advancement.
