We believe that these food items will help motivate the young men of this notable school to work hard at their studies so they can, in turn, make a valuable contribution to society”.

The Headmaster of the Mfantsipim School, Rev. Ebenezer K. Aidoo on behalf of the school expressed his profound gratitude and that of the management to Dr. Kofi Amoa-Abban and the Rigworld Group for their kind gesture and urged other companies to emulate the same to complement what the government is doing.

He said, “It is obvious that I am excited to receive these items.” They’ve come at the right time to supplement what the government is doing. So, I am happy for this kind gesture; it will go a long way to motivate the boys to study. I will also urge others to emulate the support given to us by Kofi Amoa-Abban and the Rigworld Group. “
