The management and staff of Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN) Ghana have joined the Okuapehene, Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo III, the chiefs and people of the Akuapem Traditional Council for the 2024 Odwira festival celebration with a philanthropic act.
The move, as part of MTN Ghana’s social corporate responsibilities, was to strengthen its relationships with customers in the Akuapem State.
The company donated an amount of GH¢15,000.00, GH¢2,000.00 airtime, schnapps, soft drinks, and packs of bottled water to the traditional council in support of the festival.
Receiving the items, the Akuapem Traditional Council acknowledged the unwavering support and commitment of MTN Ghana to the Odwira festival every year.
Nananom commended them for their contributions towards the growth and development of Ghana and urged them to keep on impacting the lives of the people in society.
Speaking with pressmen at Akropong after the donation on Thursday, October 10, 2024, Ransford Gyan, the Area Sales Manager of MTN Ghana for Eastern and Volta Regions reiterated the company’s commitment to promoting the rich culture of the country.
He underscored the importance of festivals indicating that festivals help in showcasing Ghanaian heritage, culture, and traditions and promotes togetherness. This, he continued motivated the telecommunication giant to decide to support festivals.
Ransford Gyan mentioned that beyond supporting the Akuapem Odwira Festival annually, most of the Senior and Junior High Schools in the Akuapem enclave have benefited from their educational infrastructure projects.
“We have built a fully equipped ultra-modern robotics centre for Methodist Girls SHS, built a dormitory block for Akropong School for the Blind, built a digital library, and constructed a digitalized borehole water for Aburi Presbyterian Senior High School because water is scarce in the area,” he said.
According to Mr. Gyan, they sought to execute developmental projects which will benefit society as part of its decision to give back to society.
