The Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Brigadier-General Glover Ashong Annan, has reaffirmed management’s commitment to providing officers of the Division with the necessary tools and logistics to ensure effective border management and safeguard national revenue.
He disclosed this during a strategic working visit to the Oti and Volta Regions, aimed at assessing operational effectiveness and to engage with officers and stakeholders at the Otii and Ho Collections. The visits also aimed at motivating officers to uphold high standards in their duties.
As part of his routine staff engagement, the Commissioner visited the Menuso Border Post and the Oti Collection, where he interacted with officers and encouraged them to work hard to generate the necessary revenue for National Development.
The Sector Commander Oti Collection, William Appah, assured the Commissioner of the collection’s readiness to exceed the revenue target for the year.
During his tour of the Ho Collection, Brig. Gen Annan visited the Honuta, Shia and Nyive Border stations to get direct insight into operational issues and motivate officers to maintain high standards in their work.
He commended the officers for their dedication to duty and encouraged them to uphold the values of professionalism, integrity, and innovation.
A major highlight of the visit was the donation of army combat boots to officers stationed at key stations. The Commissioner noted that the boots would improve patrol capabilities, enhance surveillance, and support anti-smuggling operations in remote communities across the Oti and Volta enclaves.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the staff, the Sector Commanders, Ho and Oti Collections, thanked management for the timely support, emphasizing its potential to greatly improve operational efficiency and revenue protection.
