A section of the ladies ready to visit the factory
The Times Ladies Association (TLA) of the New Times Corporation (NTC) paid a working tour at the Promasidor Ghana Limited (PGL), a leading food manufacturing company factory in Accra, recently.
The tour which formed part of the Association’s programme outline for the year was to acquaint the ladies with the manufacturing process of some of the products of PGL.
The Corporate Affairs Lead of PGL, Mr Gideon Kodo, welcomed the ladies and took them through some of the policies of the company.
He said, through different brand engagements with communities, Promasidor has grown to become known as a company that is committed to the development of the society through its community support initiatives in the area of education, health, sports and many more.
“The company operates under the mission statement of providing quality food products to all our consumers,” he said.
The tour was facilitated by Mr. George Ofori, Assistant Coordinator of Products who led the Ladies through the manufacturing process of Onga from the start to the end products.
The Ladies were led by the president of the Association, Mrs Georgina Naa-Maku Quaittoo, Acting Editor of The Spectator.
She said NTC produces two newspapers, the Ghanaian Times (GT) and The Spectator (TS) and urged the company to continue patronising the Ghanaian Times as well as The Spectator.
The vice president of the Association, Mrs Agatha Ennin Osei, was grateful to Promasidor for the warm reception and encouraged them to advertise their products in the corporation’s newspapers and on its online platforms.
At the end of the tour, the Ladies were overwhelmed and impressed with the strict adherence to health protocols observed at the factory.

Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana’s Department of Political Science, Dr. Joshua Jebuntie Zaato says the imprisonment of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, will have little meaning unless it leads to a broader crackdown on illegal mining.
In a post on his Facebook page on the July 21, 2026, Dr. Zaato said the judgment should mark the beginning of efforts to completely eradicate galamsey and hold all those involved accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.
He said the country must work towards restoring polluted rivers, protecting forests and ensuring that people implicated in illegal mining activities are prosecuted.
According to him, those the President has publicly acknowledged to be involved in galamsey should face prosecution.
He called for the prosecution of district chief executives (DCEs), members of Parliament (MPs) and senior political party officials who have been accused of engaging in or supporting illegal mining.
Dr. Zaato further urged the government to take decisive action to end the destruction of the country’s forests caused by galamsey.
He maintained that the imprisonment of Chairman Wontumi would only have a lasting impact if it results in a comprehensive and impartial fight against illegal mining across the country.
