The Ministry of Roads and Highways has clarified that a reportage shared on Twitter by Accra-based radio station, Joy Fm about its Minister saying road crashes in the country are caused by drivers and good roads is misleading. According to the Public Relations Officer of the Ministry, Isaac Agyei Kwakye, the Minister rather mentioned that research and evidence show that over 90% of road accidents could be attributed to the human factor.

In our country, the more we improve our roads, the more we make our roads motorable and comfortable to ride on, the more we spread asphalt overlays, the more we get and record accidents because most of our drivers take the opportunity to over speed on improved roads" He appealed to the general public to disregard the reportage attributed to the Roads and Highways Minister, Kwesi Amoako-Atta.

With the vast number of internet users browsing the web for solutions daily, it greatly pays to have your business discoverable organically. Google My Business (GMB) does exactly that. It offers you the opportunity to create a profile and provides listings that will put you on the map. Many businesses today use GMB ranking for dentists; you don’t want to be left behind. If you already have a GMB profile, here are six ways to optimize your GMB listings and make them work better for you. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/so-when-will-we-learn-ghana-how-can-you-say-this-to-a-world-star-shattawale-fumes-at-bloggers 1. Select the Right Category for Your Practice One of the easiest ways to get the best out of GMB listings is to ensure you specify what kind of services you offer in your dental business. Examples of such categories include dentist, emergency dental service, dental clinic, dental laboratory, and cosmetic dentist. You can choose to display up to three categories on your profile. However, it is important to include categories that are in line with your primary practice. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/live-turn-unto-ghana-oh-lord-and-have-mercy-on-us-aglow-gh-international-video 2. Properly List All Your Services The “Services” section in GMB is often neglected in many business profiles. Take advantage of this to get ahead of your competition. Be sure to add service descriptions to each service you add, as it helps your customers to make informed decisions. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/criminality-on-lgbt-is-non-negotiable-and-our-cultural-practices-frowns-on-it-adwoa-safo-pics 3. Use Quality Images Nothing will frustrate your site’s visitors like poor-quality photos. Sloppy or grainy photos will only communicate a lack of professionalism to your potential dental clients. It will greatly pay to invest in good, professional photography to display pictures of your sleek, modern equipment; your staff; or happy patients. 4. Use the Questions-and-Answers Section for Interactions You can allow users to either ask and answer questions in this section. Google will send you notifications any time a question is posed on your profile. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/accra-aglow-ghana-defies-rain-holds-first-intercessory-prayer-after-lockdown-pictures Alternatively, you can avoid spammers by taking full control over the question-and-answer section of your profile and creating your own questions about your practice and giving detailed answers. This is helpful as it gives all the details your potential customers may require to make informed decisions. 5. Closely Monitor and Respond to Reviews Reviews from past or current clients and customers make up your online reputation. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/i-m-ready-to-offer-my-3rd-girl-s-hand-in-marriage-to-kofi-kinaata-nii-lante-vanderpuye-video Most internet users trust these reviews. It would be best if you, therefore, took time to respond to them. Responding to reviews can also increase your ranking. It would not cost you much to appreciate a glowing review or respectfully respond to a negative one. However, it would help if you were careful when dealing with negative reviews; do not argue with clients on GMB, as this creates a bad picture.

Ensure Your Contact Information Is Accurate This is by far the most important tip when dealing with GMB. Inaccurate contact information will not only lead to the loss of potential customers, but it could negatively impact your reviews. Whenever you’ve relocated or changed your phone number or working hours, ensure you update it on your profile. Clients will be frustrated if they try to reach you without success because you failed to provide accurate contact information. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/coda-hands-over-classroom-project-to-amasaman-constituency-pictures Inconsistency between your contact information on GMB and your website could lead to a lower ranking by Google.

The University of Aberdeen said on Thursday it would return a Benin Bronze to Nigeria within weeks, one of the first public institutions to do so more than a century after Britain looted the sculptures and auctioned them to Western museums and collectors. The university said the sculpture of an Oba, or ruler, of the Kingdom of Benin, had left Nigeria in an "extremely immoral" fashion, leading it to reach out to authorities in 2019 to negotiate its return. Pressure has mounted to return to their places of origin the Benin Bronzes -- actually copper alloy relief sculptures -- and other artefacts taken by colonial powers. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/tracey-boakye-gifts-skit-comedian-kyekyeku-2-000-ghc11-470-00-video Neil Curtis, Aberdeen's head of museums and special collections, said the Bronze, purchased in 1957, had been "blatantly looted." "It became clear we had to do something," Curtis said. Professor Abba Isa Tijani, director general of Nigeria's National Commission for Museums and Monuments, said the importance of displaying the Bronze inside Nigeria for the first time in more than 120 years was inexpressible. https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/ges-to-consider-sanctioning-female-teacher-who-feeds-pupils-with-her-own-money "It's part of our identity, part of our heritage... which has been taken away from us for many years," Tijani said. Britain's soldiers seized thousands of metal castings and sculptures from the Kingdom of Benin, then separate from British-ruled Nigeria, in 1897. The British Museum, which holds hundreds of the sculptures, has alongside several other museums formed a Benin Dialogue Group to discuss displaying them in Benin City, some officially on loan. It has said discussions are ongoing.

Tijani said U.S. museums had also agreed to return two more Bronzes. The governor of Edo state, of which Benin City is the capital, plans to build a center to store and study the returned artefacts by the end of 2021, and a permanent museum by 2025. Artist and Edo state native Victor Ehikhamenor said he hoped the decision would prompt others to follow suit. "Because some of these things are missing from our environment, people are not able to contextualize where we are coming from," Ehikhamenor said.
