Mr. Francis A. Opoku, Director Human Resource/Solicitor Secretary stressed the need for staff to adhere to the established systems and processes by COCOBOD to ensure efficiency in the day-to- day administration of the Board. “The retreat is in line with finding better means of running COCOBOD and deepening structures for cocoa sustainability” he added.
Later, Mr. Ankrah was conducted round some facilities at the Institute by Dr. Isaac Yaw Opoku, Executive Director of the Institute and Mr. Lucius Cyprian Tenganze Zaukuu, Director of Administration.
