Mr. Joseph Oraegbunam, one of the beneficiaries, expressed appreciation for the aggressive support of the company by motivating and rewarding the staff in this hard time. He said the staff never expected this year’s event owing to the escalating harsh economic conditions and social unrest in the country, but because the company prioritized the welfare of workers, that prompted the Director to surpass the expectations of workers this year.
Some of the staff were promoted while others also got their salary increased by 50 percent.
Ghana Branch won the best branch of the year, while customer care won the best department of the year.
In his vote of thanks, Mr. Anagolu, said that his secret is impossibility is nothing when God is involved.
He said: ” I am very happy to see every member of E & C Logistics Limited. We started 10 years ago and today we are growing. When we started, we couldn’t load half a container. But today, we can be proud of 76 containers. Like I said, impossibility is nothing but you need hardwork and determination”.
Anagolu advised all the staff who got cash gifts and their salary increased to start buying landed property. He advised those who had land to start developing the property. He said that things are not totally uhuru for the company, but because he wishes to see his workers grow to become landlords, that is why he is denying the many needs of the company to make the staff happy.
