GT SUPPORTS T-POLY LIGHTING PROJECT (PAGE 30)

STORY: Kwame Asiedu Marfo, Takoradi

Ghana Telecom (GT) has donated 35 electricity poles worth GH¢7,000 to the Students Representative Council (SRC) of the Takoradi Polytechnic.
The gesture is in support of its lighting project in the school, estimated to cost GH¢10,000.
The Western Regional Manager of GT, Mr Emmanuel Adusei-Essel, who made the donation on behalf of the company, explained that the company had been assisting the communities in which it operated.
He said the company always supported projects that benefited the entire community.
Mr Adusei-Essel said the SRC of the polytechnic approached the company to support it install lights at certain points where there were no lights, a situation that enabled some social deviants to attack students in such areas.
He said the gesture was a token one but the students should use them for the purpose for which they were donated for the benefit of the whole community.
The SRC Welfare Officer, Mr Elvis Nukporpe, thanked the company for the kind gesture.
He said criminals had been snatching mobile phones from students in such areas where there were no lights.
He said that was the reason why the SRC had embarked on the lighting project, estimated to cost GH¢10,000, to save them from such attacks.
