Report
Accompanied by the Principal Administrative Officer, Mr Konadu Darko, Mr Boakye was taken round the facilities of URA Radio to ascertain the level of development at the station. Mr Boakye, entreated the staff to eschew laziness, backbiting, lateness and other irregularities towards work, but rather put up their best by adopting new ideas and innovations that can help boost their internal revenue base of the station for the benefit of all. He also called on the staff to as a matter of concern upgrade themselves so as to improve upon their performance. He said due to the competitive nature of the country’s media landscape, it behoves on all staff of the corporation to exhibit high sense of dedication, discipline, hard work and professionalism so as to maintain the hard won reputation of the corporation as the pacesetters in public broadcasting. Mr Boakye therefore assured staff of the three regional GBC stations, of his support in ensuring that special incentive and motivational packages are given them in order to attract more personnel to the regions. This, he said, can go a long way to solving the problem of inadequate staffing among the stations in these regions. The Regional Director of the station, Mr Abubakar Alhassan, in his submission, thanked the management of GBC for showing deep concern in the affairs of his staff. He enumerated a number of challenges confronting the station which he said, borders on inadequate staffing and allowances for temporal staff, transportation, as well as inadequate computers and other accessories among others. Mr Alhasaan also commended staff of the station for their continuous support and hard work since his assumption of office and pledged his preparedness to address some of the minor challenges affecting the development of the station. Some temporal staff who have worked for the station over the past years appealed to management of GBC, to elevate them to the status of contact staffs.
