Accra, Aug. 26, GNA- The Universal Merchant Bank Ghana ( UMB) has donated 30 computers to the Suhyen ICT Centre located in New Juaben Traditional Area.
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency said the presentation was part of bank’s customer initiatives to celebrate UMB’s 50th anniversary.
Nana Michael Addo, the Chief Executive Officer of Mikaddo Group of Companies, built the ICT centre for the community.
UMB responded to Dr Addo’s appeal for support by donating the computers, as a mark of appreciation for his pedigree of banking with UMB for 38 years.
Nana Dwemoh Benneh , the Chief Executive Officer of UMB, said, “ It is a matter of great pride for UMB to support one of our star customers , Mikaddo Holdings, today with this modest grant of 30 computers.
“We have dedicated all our activities this year to our customers and clients to mark our 50th anniversary and this is a mark of appreciation to Dr Addo, for keeping faith with us since 1985.
The fact that Dr. Addo approached us for this grant , not for himself, but for Suhyen moved us to support quickly. His altruism is indeed noble and visionary, as upskilling our youth and young people with digital solutions is critical,” he said.
Dr Addo, in his response, noted, “UMB has been my number one financial solutions provider and advisor since 1985. They have helped me grow from a micro enterprise into a large corporation.
“I was in no doubt of their support, as I can attest to their love for Ghana, for they are after all a Ghanaian Bank. I also knew they will support this digital agenda, as they are leading the way in digital banking here in Ghana,” he said.
He said the computers would help the young people of Suhyen to tap into the new industries of these age, all of which required IT and digital knowledge.
“I am eager that no young person in Ghana be left behind in this
digital age. We must all come together to ensure our young people are fit with IT skills in future.”
