Kpone (G/A), Nov. 03, GNA - The Intrinsic Resources Limited (IRL), producers of steel products on Wednesday presented quantities of iron rods, valued at 15 million cedis to the Kpone Traditional Council, as part of its corporate social responsibility towards a community centre project in the town.

Presenting the iron rods, Mr Bernard Kanton, General Manager in charge of Sales and Administration said it was expedient that the company shared the little it had with the people on whose land they operate, as a social fulfilment.
