Madam Obeng said the quickest form of empowering pupils and students in these modern days was ICT.

Apart from the convenience computers and the internet service bring to education, the Senior Manager noted that access to information comes in handy with just a click of a button.

She noted that even though the budget was not ready at the time the request for the computers were made, the ICT team of MTN was tasked to assemble some for the schools in Abuom.

The MTN senior manager hoped the ICT facility would enhance teaching and learning in the various schools.

Nana Amoako Gyampa, the Abuom Chief commended MTN for the kind gesture towards his community.

He also lauded the efforts of the broadcaster, who he noted is a native of the town for his exemplary show of leadership in securing the

equipment for the schools in the town.

On his part, Oduerfuo Nana Asabre thanked MTN for attaching seriousness to his request by providing the community with ICT facilities.

The kind gesture, he noted, would go a long way to improve the academic work of schools in the community.
