According to him, he will ensure that GNAT is transformed once he is given the nod.

I am a team player and I lead a team. The team makes me a good leader so I seek to bring all members who form the team together as one so that we move and make Greater Accra work again. There is the need for us to have a change so that we can bring the old Greater Accra back" READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/empire-star-bryshere-gray-sentenced-to-jail-in-domestic-violence-case He also hinted that after being elected as the Acting Chairman in 2016, he noticed every major decision which was taken had Greater Accra’s ideas sorted but for some time now the story has changed. Mr. Asifu said “As a good leader, the first and foremost thing, you should know and do is to believe in people you work with. You should be able to delegate your powers for them to work with. I brought everybody on board, delegated my powers, monitored, gave them suggestions, and did not impose anything on them. That was the trick” He, however, mentioned that teamwork was the secret to the successful District conference which was held at Nungua recently. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/we-suspect-arson-targeted-at-destruction-and-concealment-of-material-evidence-at-tano-south-ndc “I had all the five directors of Education including the 3 Members of Parliament in the district attending the conference and they were all full of praises for the way we organized the conference. In fact, they felt like teachers themselves. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate my Lieutenants especially my adorable vice. I give praises to her” Reacting to GNAT’s hostel at Nungua, he said “I will look for sponsorship so that we put up an additional block to support the hostel because we do not have enough rooms. But to begin with, we have to make sure that the current blocks there are well maintained. The people must take good care of it" READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/summit-will-enable-authority-deliberate-take-decisions-on-political-security-in-mali-s-botchwey The 2021 Aspirant for the position of the Greater Accra Regional Chairman for the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Felix Ofosu Asifu charged leaders not to be afraid of criticisms adding that it helps builds an individual. “As a leader, you should not be afraid of criticisms, because, it is criticisms that will push you ahead. I will not use divide and rule. I will not accept words from people and push others away. Everybody’s voice will be heard but as a leader, my followers have to allow me to make the decisions. I will listen to everybody but let me take the decision” He further hinted that the welfare of teachers is his priority adding that he will ensure teachers are given what is due them.

Let us sit up and take our education seriously" Touching on the security of the teacher, he said “Security is in your own hands. Nobody can guarantee your security if you cannot. Once, you start taking good care of yourself, try and raise your security to a certain level, and then others will support you. The teaching field is a noble profession.

I love the people who branded the president as incorruptible, peace-loving, and a believer of press freedom. They can easily sell pork to a Muslim (haram). They really branded human excreta for sale and people bought it. I don't know the fear #FIXTHECOUNTRY group is causing Nana Addo. He used the police to arrest them in court, and the thugs, seeing what their leader enjoy, brutalized and killed another. Leadership style reflects. When you sow the wind, you will definitely reap the whirlwind. We are products of our minds. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/empire-star-bryshere-gray-sentenced-to-jail-in-domestic-violence-case I am yet to see the difference between the police, the thugs, and the military. They have one commander, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo. A person who sees no evil hears no evil and doesn't condemn evil, because he agrees or probably behind the perpetrators. Is that one too a president? Kofi koomson once said he can never sleep when Nana Addo becomes President. President Kufuor said worse when he advised NPP delegates. Today we are living the reality. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/we-suspect-arson-targeted-at-destruction-and-concealment-of-material-evidence-at-tano-south-ndc I feel pity for those who stand unconcerned. I don't want to name the number of unconcerned people who have lost their lives under Nana Addo. During the Ayawaso West wougon by-elections, they thought us lessons on stray bullets, and they will use that constantly in their defence, even though a "supposedly" trained military man knelt , aimed and discharged "their stray" bullets with pride , killing and maiming citizens. Yes, he did it with pride because that is the only action Nana Addo enjoys seeing.

How can Ambrose Dery, an acomplice (per the rot in the security service) investigate itself and it's men ? The result has definitely be cooked already. This is how thugs are emboldened to kill more. 4 more to kill more. Before this report is completed in 10 days, we demand to have the report of the 6-month-old investigations on the killings during the 2020 elections.

READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/local-news-coda-outdoors-credit-union-to-support-informal-sector-pictures Dr. John Tenkorang said “Members can now use one card, that is the Ghana Card, for multiple transactions. There is no need to carry two cards when one can do the job. This implies that Members don’t have to carry a separate card for SSNIT transactions” Speaking about easy identification, he explained that the merger will tie in with the Trust’s quest to improve the ease with which Members and Clients do business with SSNIT. On cost-saving, he also hinted that the use of the Ghana Card will eliminate the cost associated with the printing of SSNIT biometric cards for our members. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/bui-power-ceo-is-wrong-the-energy-minister-has-not-been-misled-by-gridco On the compliance with the law, Dr. Tenkorang said “The adoption of the Ghana Card is a legal requirement. Regulation 7(1) of the National Identity Register Regulations, 2012, L.I. 2111, requires the use of the Ghana Card for “transactions pertaining to individuals in respect of pension”. He noted that the adoption is also in fulfillment of a directive from the National Pensions Regulatory Authority. “The Merger process; the Trust has deployed two platforms for Members of the SSNIT Scheme to merge their SSNIT and NIA numbers. These are the use of USSD (shortcode) *711*9#, the SSNIT website (www.ssnit.org.gh)” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/amplified-will-focus-on-amplifying-mentoring-youth-dev-t-activities-in-various-quarters-gov-t “Using the USSD (shortcode) *711*9#, dial *711*9# on your mobile phone, select option 1 to merge NIA number with SSNIT number, enter your SSNIT Number, enter your NIA number, and select option 1 to complete the merging of your SSNIT and NIA numbers” He also mentioned that after completing the steps, a confirmation message will be sent to the Member via email informing the Member of the success of the merger stressing that if it’s not successful, an error message will be sent to the Member to get in touch with SSNIT for redress. “Using the SSNIT website; visit www.ssnit.org.gh, click MY STATEMENT, fill in the required details to sign in or click GET ACCESS if you don’t have an account or click on FORGOT PASSWORD if you have forgotten your password, click Merge My NIA number, agree to the terms and conditions and enter your NIA number and click Submit.

They need to carry along their: Ghana Card or NIA numbers, SSNIT card/numbers, Valid email address, or Phone number Speaking about what happens after the merger; he noted that the NIA number will now become the SSNIT number. He also mentioned that every activity that one could perform with the SSNIT number, can now be done with the Ghana Card or NIA number adding that members can check or print their SSNIT Statements of Accounts, pay contributions, apply for their benefits and perform other social security activities with SSNIT using the Ghana Card. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/we-suspect-arson-targeted-at-destruction-and-concealment-of-material-evidence-at-tano-south-ndc “From January 2022, Members who fail to merge their numbers will not be able to transact business with the Trust. This is because the Ghana Card will be the only acceptable identification for Members to transact business with SSNIT. This also means Members cannot apply for their benefits” Dr. Tenkorang mentioned that from January 2022, employers will be required to pay contributions for their workers using the NIA number, which is now the SSNIT number. On who can merge, he said “The merger can be done by all SSNIT Members who have done the SSNIT biometric registration. However, SSNIT Members who have not done the biometric re-enrolment cannot merge their numbers. Such Members must first visit the nearest SSNIT Branch to re-enroll onto the SSNIT biometric platform, after which they can merge their numbers” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/empire-star-bryshere-gray-sentenced-to-jail-in-domestic-violence-case For all inquiries on the integration of SSNIT and NIA numbers, Dr. Tenkorang appealed to the public to contact SSNIT on; 0302 611 622 / toll-free number 0800 1100 94 (Vodafone only) or email at contactcentre@ssnit.org.gh.
