OLD STUDENT DONATES TO GHANASCO (PAGE 29 NOV 17, 2010)

A NIGERIAN, who is a member of the 1970 class of students of the Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO) in Tamale, Mr Owolabi Ganiyu, an engineer, has presented a set of computer accessories to his alma mater.
The accessories, which included a monitor, a CPU, a printer, a UPS and other components, will support both academic and administrative work in the school.
Mr Ganiyu noted that the donation was his contribution towards the successful celebration of the Golden Jubilee of the school.
The anniversary, which was launched earlier in the year, will be climaxed with a speech and prize-giving ceremony on November 20, this year.
The engineer expressed some unhappiness about the current state of the school which, he noted, had trained many professionals who were currently serving not only in Ghana but also other countries, including Nigeria.
He entreated the old students to forge a greater partnership towards seeking solutions to the challenges facing the school, such as the lack of a spacious assembly hall and the poor state of some staff bungalows and dormitories.
The Assistant Headmistress in charge of academics, Ms Evelyn Akulmasa, who received the items on behalf of the school, commended Mr Ganiyu for endeavouring to support the school that contributed partly to his success in life.
She said other old students had also made similar presentations and expressed the hope that many others would follow suit.
