Accra, Feb 25, GNA – GCB Bank PLC, a leading indigenous bank, has extended Ramadan support to Muslim communities in selected regions across Ghana aimed at promoting community development, national cohesion, and shared prosperity.
Muslim communities in Tamale, Yendi, Mion, and Damango of the Northern and Savannah regions received cash and essential food items such as sugar, milk, beverage, cooking oil to support Iftar (breaking of daily fast) and other religious activities in the mosques.
Beneficiary mosques included the Tamale Central Mosque, Ambariyya Mosque, Sheikh Lucman Bamba Mosque, and Sheikh Abu Dijaana Mosque.
Management of the Bank climaxed the outreach with a courtesy call on the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, at his residence in Fadama, Accra, where it donated food items for the less privileged as well.
This reflects the Bank’s enduring relationship with the Ghanaian Muslim community and its continued respect for spiritual leadership in Ghana.
The delegation, including members of the Executive Management Committee and some staff, was led by the Managing Director, Mr. Farihan Alhassan.
They sought prayers and guidance for the Bank and the nation during the sacred month.
Mr Alhassan highlighted the significance of GCB Bank’s Ramadan support, which he said was not a one-off gesture but part of a longstanding tradition.
He said the initiative reflected the Bank’s belief in unity, renewal, and peaceful coexistence, essential values that found expression in the significance of Ramadan and the broader social fabric of the country.
Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu, on his part, expressed appreciation to the Bank for the continued support, acknowledging the positive impact such contributions had on mosque leaders and vulnerable members of the community.
He offered prayers for the sustained growth and wisdom of the Bank’s Board, Management, and staff, asking for continued prosperity and impact.
Similarly, the Northern Regional Chief Imam, Sheikh Ahmed Abdul-Salam, commended the Bank’s outreach across the region, noting that the donations would significantly support community coordination and welfare efforts during Ramadan.
