Zoomlion Ghana Limited has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening collaboration with traditional authorities as it embarks on a new chapter under its newly appointed Managing Director, Mrs Doris Kwekwor Adjei.
Mrs Adjei led a high-level delegation on a courtesy call to the President of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and Paramount Chief of Nungua, His Royal Majesty Oboade Notse Nii Odaifio Welentse III, at the Nungua Palace.
The visit, which forms part of a long-standing tradition by the company, was aimed at formally introducing the new Managing Director and her management team to key stakeholders following her appointment.
Welcoming the delegation, the Nungua Mantse commended Dr Joseph Siaw Agyapong, Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group of Companies, for his consistent contributions to improving waste management and environmental sanitation in Ghana.
He offered prayers for Dr Agyapong to continue to have strength, wisdom, and a long life, enabling him to sustain his contributions to national development.
The Paramount Chief also praised the immediate past Managing Director for laying a solid foundation for the company and encouraged Mrs Adjei to build on that legacy. He assured her of the full support and cooperation of the Nungua Traditional Council.
Also addressing the gathering, the Paramount Chief of Katamanso and former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo, lauded Mrs Adjei’s appointment, describing it as a significant milestone for women in leadership. He acknowledged her advocacy for women’s empowerment and prayed for divine guidance, protection, and wisdom throughout her tenure.
Expressing appreciation for the warm reception, Mrs Doris Kwekwor Adjei thanked the traditional council for its blessings and pledged to strengthen Zoomlion’s efforts in environmental sanitation, public education, and sustainable waste management solutions across the country.
She reiterated the company’s commitment to working closely with traditional authorities, recognising their vital role in promoting community participation and behavioural change in sanitation initiatives.
Speaking on behalf of the company, Madam Emma Adwoa Appiaa Osei Duah emphasised that engagement with traditional leaders remains a key component of Zoomlion’s stakeholder strategy, noting that such partnerships are essential for achieving lasting improvements in environmental cleanliness.
The courtesy visit marks the beginning of a renewed partnership between Zoomlion Ghana Limited and traditional authorities in the Greater Accra Region, aimed at advancing sustainable sanitation and community development initiatives.
