TWO ISD SATFF MAKE LIST OF DISTINGUISHED CIVIL SERVANTS – 2025 SERVICE YEAR 14/08/2026

 ISD DIR. (Middle), With Awardees
Some two (2) members of staff from the Information Services Department (ISD), made the list of some 100 distinguished hardworking civil and public servants who received awards last Friday, August 14, 2026 at the Civil Service Awards night in Accra for the 2025 service year. The annual awards scheme is purposed to reward officers who exhibit sterling performance and commitment at the duties assigned them during a particular service year which not only serves as encouragement to the awardees but also, to tickle and challenge other officers to strive for excellence in the overall discharge of the mandate of the various civil service institutions in Ghana. 

The annual awards scheme, is under the auspices of the Office of Head of the Civil Service (OHCS) with the 2025 awards ceremony themed; “The Resetting Agenda For Sustainable Development In Ghana: The Civil Service’s Responsibilities”.

During a brief interaction with the awardees at her office before the ceremony, Director of the ISD, Dr. Nafisa Mahama commended her officers for their diligence and positive work attitude that made them standout out during the period and charged them not to rest on their oars on returning to work, but continue to work even better than before. She then led the award winners, including Peter Atogewe Wedam, the Municipal Information Officer for the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly in the Upper East Region and Ophelia Opokua Yamoah, from the Records Office at the ISD’s Headquarters, to the awards ceremony held at the Alisa Hotel.

Special Guest of Honour at the awards night, the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang commended all the award winners for their sterling outputs at their various offices and entreated other workers in the Civil Service who did not make the list, not to feel discouraged but rather, see it as a challenge to up their game and do better going forward. The Vice President noted that, the Civil Service cannot be built and sustained by only award-winning staff but the whole population of workers in the larger Civil Service family.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang emphasized, “When excellence is acknowledged, it rewards those who have given their best but it also inspires others and sends a clear message about the values an institution chooses to uphold”. She noted that, the awards thus contribute to the performance-driven culture the government and the OHCS seek to build across the civil service. According to her, “The success of the Resetting Ghana Agenda will depend in no small measure, on the Civil Service. I therefore urge all Civil Service staff to come fully onboard”.

Head of the Civil Service, Dr. Evans Aggrey-Darkoh
Meanwhile in his remarks earlier, Head of the Civil Service, Dr. Evans Aggrey-Darkoh noted that, “The government’s Reset Agenda requires civil servants to abandon “business as usual” and prioritize citizens in all public service delivery”. He added that, structural and national goals will only succeed if the administrative machinery shifts focus directly to the people and thus urged workers in the Service to elevate standards of integrity, innovation and efficiency in their daily office schedules and assignments given them.

He further charged the staff and various departments not to abdicate their core functions to the Assembly’s committees but rather, remain up-to-the-beat and take full discharge of their duties.
