Mahama forces Tema and Takoradi port workers into 24 hour labor

Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority bosses fired up round-the-clock operations at their major facilities after President Mahama demanded faster maritime services. Tema and Takoradi ports kicked off continuous terminal activities beyond their existing ship-side work that already ran all day and night. The expanded schedule covers Terminal 2, Transit, Reefer, and Golden Jubilee Terminal areas where cargo handling previously stopped during certain hours. Director Tebon Zumah made the announcement during National Prayer and Thanksgiving Day celebrations while representing his boss Brigadier General Paul Seidu Tanye-Kulon. Maritime officials believe the changes will slash waiting times and make Ghana more attractive to international shipping companies.

Port authorities expect the enhanced operations to revolutionize cargo processing speeds across West Africa's busiest harbors. Zumah challenged his workforce to embrace creative solutions that support the presidential vision for economic growth. The legal expert emphasized how shorehandling and related services must match the seamless approach already used for vessel operations. He formally declared Tema Port a complete 24-hour facility during the ceremony. Authority leaders stressed their determination to boost national productivity through improved port accessibility for business partners and stakeholders.
