The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation, in charge of Operations and Technical, Onasis Rosely, has stressed the importance of teamwork, unity, and love in the Corporation’s efforts to develop Ghana’s Petroleum Hub project.
During the Petroleum Hub Development Corporation’s 2026 Valentine’s Day celebration, Onasis Rosely remarked that choosing to focus the event on “teamwork”, a core value of the Corporation, was particularly fitting
He urged staff to embrace teamwork, consolidate their expertise and talents, and work together as the Corporation continues to facilitate investment in Ghana’s petroleum hub project.
“Love means relating well with one another. At PHDC, we place a lot of emphasis on teamwork. We have been tasked with executing a major project, and at its heart is teamwork. We believe nobody should work in silos.
“There is a need to synergise the energies we have. There are no divisions or exceptions. Everyone brings different expertise and strengths to move the work forward,” he said.
The Director of Human Capital at PHDC, Dominic A. Osei, reflected on the impact of programmes such as the Valentine’s Day celebration on team bonding, unity and, ultimately, teamwork.
He believes such events serve as an occasional reminder to staff that the ultimate goal of developing Ghana’s biggest petroleum and petrochemical hub can only be achieved through the concerted and collaborative efforts of the Corporation’s staff.
The Head of General Services, Adwoa Osaebea Oduro Konadu, urged staff to be deliberate in ensuring that their actions reflect the Corporation’s core values.
She stated that these values must not remain abstract but must be clearly visible in the actions and decisions of every staff member.
The convivial event, held at the forecourt of the PHDC head office in Accra, featured a gift-sharing exercise among staff and management.
