TAYSEC donates to Otumfuo Education Fund

TAYSEC Construction Company on Tuesday donated 50 million cedis to the Otumfuo Education Fund as the company's appreciation of the Asantehene's effort in education.

Andrews Holmes, Country Director of Taylor Woodrow, who made the donation on behalf of the company, lauded the Asantehene's concern for education, culminating in establishing the fund and said its disbursement so far had shown that it was not parochial, considering the fact that the beneficiaries cut across the country.

He said the company had also been offering assistance to needy students in tertiary institutions. Holmes said the company had identified itself with the Otumfuo Education Fund because it catered for the needy and for the deplorable situation in the educational system.

"Our company is no stranger in Ghana and Kumasi in particular, having built the Shoe and Jute factories as well as the Kumasi Brewery Company Limited and Guinness Ghana Limited." Otumfuo Osei Tutu expressed his appreciation to the company for the gesture and recounted its "good works" since its establishment in the country.
