Dear Esteemed Stakeholders,

It is with deep respect that I address you today as the new CEO of the Ghana Shippers’ Authority(GSA). The role I have been entrusted with is both a privilege and a responsibility that I hold in the highest regard. GSA is a critical pillar in Ghana’s economic landscape, and we are committed to ensuring its strength and resilience in our service to you —our shippers, partners, and the nation at large.

Our vision for the future is one of transformative growth, where trade flourishes without any hindrance, and where the logistics sector operates at its highest potential. We aim to create an ecosystem where the flow of goods is seamless, timely, and efficient—unencumbered by bureaucratic delays, infrastructural bottlenecks, or excessive costs. Through collaboration, trust, and shared commitment, we will build an environment where trade becomes a catalyst for prosperity, not a source of frustration.

At the heart of this vision is a simple but powerful principle: when we work together, we all thrive. My approach to leadership will always be one that seeks to listen, learn, and act in the best interests of all stakeholders involved. It’s essential that we open the channels of communication at all levels, to ensure that every voice—whether in the Boardroom or the marketplace—is heard and valued.

By fostering an inclusive environment, where solutions are developed collaboratively, we will ensure that Ghana’s shipping and logistics sector is not only competitive but, is also positioned as a leader in Africa and beyond.

This vision is not just about policy; it’s about real, tangible benefits that reach everyone, from the large exporters to the traders on the market floor.

I call on all of you—shippers, service providers, and industry players—to join hands with us in this journey of transformation. Together, we will make this vision a reality- creating an environment where success is not just possible, but is inevitable.

Thank you.
