A LEADING manufacturer of electrical cables, Nexans Ghana Limited, has pledged support for the initiative of the people of the Likpe Traditional Area in wiring all basic school buildings in the traditional area to facilitate electronic learning through the use of computers and the Internet.
To this end, the company has promised to deliver cables worth GH¢50,000 to the people as work progressed on the project.
The Commercial Manager of the company, Mr Aaron Sagoe, gave the promise at the climax of this year’s Lekoryi (Unity) festival of the people, which coincided with the Easter festivities.
He said it was a corporate social responsibility of the company towards the people of Likpe, and commended them for choosing a project that fitted into the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Acknowledging the pledge, the chairman of the Lekoryi Festival Planning Committee, Dr A.Q. Q. Aboagye, said it would inspire the citizens to contribute to the project because it demonstrated that their efforts had been recognised by a corporate body.
He disclosed that Sulana Electrical Engineering Limited had been awarded the contract to wire a total of 28 schools, comprising seven nursery, 13 primary and eight junior high schools in the 10 Likpe communities.
Dr Aboagye said the project was expected to offer learning and other opportunities for children in the area.
