He said Engineers and Planners sees the need to protect lives especially as the country continues to fight the pandemic.
“We are not looking at how much is involved but the impact it will make in the public space. We have been doing these donations since Covid-19 started and we are doing this for the universities and the institutions in order to aid them comply with the safety protocols,” he stressed.
Master of Legon Hall and Convenor for Heads of Halls, Dr. Wiafe Akenteng who received the items on behalf of the University of Ghana expressed his gratitude to Engineers and Planners.
“It’s a very good gesture and you know we are battling Covid-19 and anything that will help prevent it is most welcome. Each of the halls and other administrative departments will have one and this is very useful. Very soon students will return to campus and that in itself is a lot of money to spend if we were buying these type of machines”.
