Ebi Bright, a good choice for TMA
Dear Editor,
I wish to congratulate the first female Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) of the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA), Mrs Ebi Bright on her appointment.
Her appointment is a reward for her good works in the municipality. It was unfortunate she was not successful in her bid to become the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema Central Constituency.
But in this capacity, she can still serve her people.
Mayor Bright has been an advocate for women in Tema and beyond and would stop at nothing to inspire other girls and women to work hard to also occupy such top positions.
Her inclusion in the array of mayors in Tema should motivate all women in Tema and the entire country to aspire for excellence and fight to overcome negative barriers that may hinder women’s development.
As an admirer of this hardworking lady, I wish to urge her to bring development projects to the Tema Central, Tema East and others.
Mayor Bright must also engage stakeholders especially the chiefs, MPs, assembly members, religious and opinion leaders as well as youth leaders to dialogue on how to make Tema the once industrious city of Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Tema, just like other assemblies, is facing several challenges regarding infrastructure, youth unemployment, and sanitation, among others.
That should tell Mayor Bright that her appointment comes with challenges which require the efforts of every stakeholder to address. I know she is capable. Congratulations Mum.
