The bank donated 20 laptops to the Department of Accounting while the Student’s Financial Aid Office received an amount of GHC 20,000.
The gesture was towards the establishment of a computer lab for the Accounting Department of the UGBS to complement the study of accounting software and other technological enhancement in the accounting space.
Presenting the laptops on behalf of the bank, General Manager, Commercial and Retail Banking, Joseph Laryea Ashong, said the donation was in response to the university’s call for support towards the project.
He said it also formed part of the bank’s commitment to promote quality education under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-4, Quality Education) which the bank has adopted.
“We recognise the challenges that you face in equipping students with the required logistics that will churn out the caliber of employees needed in the industry and the fact that government alone cannot absorb the full cost of tertiary education.
That is why we make this donation for the general good of the nation and also fulfilling our commitment to the sustainable development goal of quality education,” Mr Ashong said.
Receiving the Laptops on behalf of the Accounting Department, the Dean of UGBS, Prof. Justice Nyigmah Bawole, expressed deep appreciation to Republic Bank for the kind gesture.
