Ghana needs proper time management to speed up
development
Winneba (C/R), March 5, Ghanadot/GNA - The Vice-Chancellor
of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), Professor
Akwasi Asabere-Ameyaw has stressed the need for effective
time management to speed the nation’s quest for accelerated
development.
Prof Asabere-Ameyaw said this at the launching of an 85-page
book entitled “The Principles and Practice of Time
Management” at the University.
The book was authored by Rev Father (Dr) Anthony Afful-Broni,
a Senior Lecturer and Director at the Centre for Educational
and Policy Studies of UEW.
The book is about time management as an effective tool for
achieving organizational and personal goals.
Prof Asabere-Ameyaw said “human beings cannot change to suit
their ways but must change their ways to conform to time
available”.
Prof Asabere-Ameyaw said that one could not achieve his
goals in life without being time conscious and urged all
Ghanaians to observe time as a concept to humanity.
The former Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof Jophus
Anamuah-Mensah said poor time management does not allow
people to perceive opportunities.
He said poor attitudes such as procrastination, lateness,
super-mentality,
phone charts, electronic mails and internet abuse
among others, were the setbacks to productivity and time
management.
Prof Anamuah-Mensah advised people to be in control of their
time in a fast changing global economy in order to cope with
the challenges.
He commended Rev Fr (Dr) Afful-Broni for producing a
result-oriented book to enhance productivity in the country.
The book was dedicated to the Archbishop of Cape Coast and
Chairman of the National Peace Council, Peter Cardinal
Appiah Turkson.
