Western North Chief Director Urges Staff to Build Lasting Legacy

The new Chief Director of the Western North Regional Coordinating Council (WNRCC), Madam Jemma Lomotey, has urged public servants in the region to pursue excellence, uphold integrity and leave a lasting legacy through dedicated service to the people.

She made the call at a staff durbar organised on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, at the WNRCC in Sefwi Wiawso to officially welcome her to the Council.

Madam Lomotey, who succeeded Acting Chief Director Plg. Joseph K. Baah-Darkoh, pledged to foster teamwork, open communication and collaboration to improve service delivery across the region.

She said her administration would adopt an open-door policy that encouraged constructive criticism, the exchange of ideas and staff participation in decision-making to create a supportive working environment.

Her vision, she stated, was to position the WNRCC as a model of excellence in regional governance through professionalism, accountability and results-oriented leadership.

Madam Lomotey urged staff to approach their responsibilities with an open mind, demonstrate competence and deliver measurable results that would benefit the people of the Western North Region.

“Let it not be said about you that you did not deliver under your tenure,” she advised, emphasising the importance of making meaningful contributions throughout their years of service.

She commended staff for the warm reception and acknowledged their competence and dedication, urging them to maintain high standards of professionalism, integrity, discipline and responsiveness in the discharge of their duties.

The Chief Director further stressed that teamwork and cooperation were essential to overcoming institutional challenges and positioning the Council to achieve greater results.

During an open forum, staff made several recommendations aimed at improving the Council’s operations and working conditions.

Among their requests were the provision of a staff bus, the establishment of a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) office in Sefwi Wiawso, the reshaping of the RCC–Old Adiemira Road and repairs to defects identified in the RCC office complex.

The durbar provided a platform for management and staff to exchange ideas on institutional priorities, workplace challenges and measures to strengthen administrative efficiency and service delivery across the region.
