The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has joined a list of companies that have donated to the government-instituted COVID-19 National Trust Fund.
Since the outbreak of the pandemic in the country, several companies from both the private and public sectors have been supporting government as it fights to reduce the spread.
At a ceremony at the Jubilee House on Tuesday April 14, 2020, the Ghana Grid Company led by Board Chairman Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere and Chief Executive, Jonathan Amoako-Baah, donated a cash amount of Two Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis (GHS200,000) to the Chairperson of the Fund, Justice Sophia Akuffo.
Addressing the media afterwards, Ambassador Kabral Blay-Amihere said:
“This is our widow’s mite in response to the call by the President. We appreciate the initiative and we hope that our contribution will be crucial in helping the fund achieve its objective. We all know that these are difficult times and I want to urge us all to rally behind the government and help the effort to fight this pandemic.”
Receiving the donation, Justice Sophia Akuffo thanked the company and assured that the proceeds will be used to support the needy and vulnerable in society.
The Fund was established by the President last month to receive public donations to help improve the lives of the underprivileged in the country who will be hard-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Secretary of the Senior Staff Association of GRIDCo, Sarah Dodoo and Union Chairman, Francis Adjartey, were also present.
