Alhaji Dr Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Shaributu, Ghana's revered Chief Imam, paid a significant visit to the Head Office of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transport Company (BOST) in Accra to congratulate the newly appointed Managing Director, Mr Afetsi Awoonor.

He emphasised the importance of dedication, integrity, and commitment to service, offering his blessings for their success in their new endeavours. The visit culminated in a moment of prayer, where the Chief Imam sought divine guidance and blessings for Mr Awoonor and the entire BOST management team.
The visit not only demonstrated the personal bonds between the two families but also highlighted the importance of leadership in driving progress and development within Ghana's strategic sectors. As the youngest Managing Director in BOST's history, Mr Awoonor reiterated his readiness and commitment to the responsibilities of his office with determination and innovation.
The trust placed in him by both the President and the Chief Imam serves as a powerful reminder of the legacy and responsibilities that accompany leadership in Ghana. This visit marks the beginning of a promising chapter for BOST under Mr Awoonor's stewardship, supported by the prayers and guidance of esteemed leaders like Alhaji Dr Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Shaributu.
