Mr. Martin Adu-Owusu, Managing Director of New Times Corporation, in his address commended the staff for contributing to the growth of the corporation in 2021 and called for more dedication and hardwork from staff.
Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, in a sermon, emphasised the importance of thanksgiving saying it was one of the ways of appreciating “the miracles of God.”
Admonishing staff to build the corporation through hardwork and humility, he said that humility was the prerequisite for the growth of institutions and nations therefore, leaders and followers must eschew pride and seek the face of God in all endeavours and leave their “wicked ways.”

“In order to give proper thanks to God, we need to be humble, pray, seek the face of God and turn from our wicked ways. What has brought many people including politicians down is as a result of pride. We forget that positions are transient that is why we need to be humble.
“When you seek the face of God, you are relevant at every time. Learn to be at the place where you are connected with God at all times,” he said.
Making reference to the scriptures, he maintained that when Christians turned from their wicked ways, “we will hear from heaven, our sins will be forgiven and then God will hear our prayers.”
“We must learn to thank God for little things. A prayerless man is a powerless man so we must continue to seek the face of God not the face of man,” he added and advised the staff to remain united and be resolute in the midst of difficulties.
Dr. Lawrence Tetteh led leadership and staff of the corporation in intercessory prayers after which he and Empress Gifty were acknowledged with citations for their respective contribution to spreading the Gospel in diverse ways.

About 200 company secretaries, governance professionals and institutional leaders will gather in Accra for the ‘Company Secretaries Summit’ next month.
It is aimed at strengthening governance practices and enhance boardroom effectiveness across the country.
The summit, which is scheduled for July 16 at the Labadi Beach Hotel seeks to equip governance professionals with the knowledge, skills, and networks required to navigate the increasingly complex demands of modern corporate leadership.
It will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions focusing on emerging governance trends, boardroom dynamics, regulatory compliance, digital transformation, and stakeholder expectations.
According to the convener, Catherine Engmann, the summit comes at a critical time when governance professionals are under growing pressure to support sound decision-making, strengthen governance culture, and respond effectively to changing institutional and regulatory environments.
“This gathering is not just another conference. It is a platform for governance leaders who are already operating at the highest level and intend to stay there,” she said.
She noted that the programme was designed to provide participants with practical tools, fresh insights, and valuable professional connections.
According to Ms Engmann, a major highlight of the event will be the awards ceremony, which will recognise individuals and organisations that have demonstrated excellence in governance practice and made significant contributions to improving board effectiveness and corporate accountability.
She mentioned that the summit will also offer participants an opportunity to benchmark their practices against industry standards, exchange ideas with peers, and explore innovative approaches to governance challenges.
Beyond the formal sessions, the event is expected to foster networking and collaboration among governance professionals, helping to strengthen governance practices across Ghana’s corporate and institutional landscape.
Speaking about the vision behind the initiative, Ms Engmann, said the summit was inspired by the need to create a dedicated platform that recognises the critical role played by company secretaries and governance professionals.
According to her, the Company Secretaries’ Summit and Awards reflects her conviction that Ghana’s governance professionals deserve an annual platform where they can engage in meaningful discussions, build strategic relationships, and receive recognition for their contributions to effective governance.
Registration for the summit, she said was currently open, with interested professionals encouraged to secure their participation ahead of the event.

-1 cup dried soya beans
-4–5 cups for water (for blending)
-Extra water for soaking
-Sugar, honey or dates (optional, for sweetness)
-Vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation
-Pick through the beans to remove stones or damaged seeds and rinse thoroughly
-Place them in a large bowl and cover with plenty of water. Soak for at least eight hours or overnight to soften it to blend easier
– After soaking, rub the beans with your hands as the skin begins to remove
– Removing the skins helps reduce the ‘beany’ taste and improves texture
– Put the soaked beans into a blender with 4–5 cups of clean water
-Blend until smooth and milky. (You may need to do this in batches depending on your blender size).
– Using a clean muslin cloth or fine sieve, strain the blended mixture into a pot. (Squeeze well to extract as much liquid as possible).
-The leftover pulp is called okara. Don’t throw it away — it can be used in baking, porridge, or even added to stews.
– Place the strained milk on medium heat and make it boil. Stir continuously to prevent burning or overflowing.
– Allow it to boil for at least 20–25 minutes. Proper boiling removes the raw taste and neutralises natural compounds that can upset the stomach.
-Once boiled a little sugar or honey. Pulse.gh
