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.

CSA urges Universities to strengthen cybersecurity following university of Nottingham cyber-attack
The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has cautioned universities and other operators of Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) in Ghana to comply with cybersecurity regulations following a recent cyber-attack on the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom.
In a press release issued on June 16, 2026, the Authority said the incident should serve as a warning to educational institutions that no organisation is immune to cyber threats, regardless of its size, reputation or technological capacity.
According to the CSA, the attack on the University of Nottingham is believed to have affected about 450,000 students and alumni, exposing sensitive information such as personal records, contact details, student identification information and financial data.
The Authority noted that although the breach occurred outside Ghana, it has important lessons for the country’s education sector as well as other critical sectors including health, telecommunications and transportation.
The CSA explained that Ghanaian universities are increasingly relying on digital technologies such as student information systems, online learning platforms, cloud services, digital payment systems and research collaborations.
While these technologies improve efficiency and access to services, they also create opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities.
“The question is therefore not whether Ghanaian universities or other critical sectors will be attacked, but whether they are sufficiently prepared when an attack occurs,” the statement said.
The Authority reminded institutions to adhere to the Directive for the Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure, which was launched in October 2021 to strengthen cybersecurity across critical sectors.
According to the CSA, the directive requires organisations to establish cybersecurity governance structures, conduct risk assessments, implement security controls, report incidents, carry out regular audits and develop effective incident response plans.
The Authority said these measures are intended to reduce the likelihood and impact of cyber-attacks and help protect essential services and national interests.

Former NPP flagbearer aspirant, Kennedy Agyapong, has criticised both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over the delayed completion of the Afari Military Hospital and other stalled health infrastructure projects.
Mr. Agyapong made the remarks on Tuesday after donating a pickup truck, an incubator and personal protective equipment (PPEs) to the 37 Military Hospital as part of activities marking his 66th birthday.
Speaking at the event, he said successive governments had failed to complete the Afari Military Hospital despite having years in office to do so.
According to him, the project was initiated during the administration of former President John Agyekum Kufuor and construction later commenced under the NDC.
Mr. Agyapong, who previously chaired Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, said he was aware of the project’s challenges and insisted that both the NPP and NDC should be held accountable for the delays.
“We will criticise the NDC and we will criticise the NPP. That’s the only way to go,” he said.
He noted that the previous NPP administration spent eight years in office without completing the facility and questioned attempts to place the blame solely on the current government.
The former Assin Central MP called on Ghanaians to put national development ahead of partisan politics and demand accountability from all political parties.
He said the country would make greater progress if leaders focused on completing critical projects and delivering results rather than engaging in political point-scoring.
