The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Ghana Limited (TCCBGL) has adopted one of the classroom blocks of the Achimota Senior High School to refurbish it.
The eight-classroom block is christened “Coca-Cola Block”. It was formerly called the form three Arts block, which was meant for Vocational and Arts students of the Institute.
The block has been in existence since the establishment of the school in 1927.
This initiative by the company forms part of its corporate social responsibility of giving back to the communities within which it operates.
The school has for the past 6years been of tremendous help for TCCBCGL, providing assistance for it in the running of the “Coca-Cola National Essay Writing Competition”, which is currently ongoing.
The initiative is a joint venture between TCCBCGL and the Coca-Cola Foundation.
Funding of the block runs into thousands of new Ghana cedis and will continue for the
next 5years.
The first phase of the project, which involved painting, providing beams and the
installation of electrical wires has already been completed waiting for the second and
final phase in the next few months.
The Managing Director (MD) of TCCBCGL, Shegun Ogunsanya in a handing over ceremony in Accra expressed joy about the move taken by the two institutions saying,
“I’m happy that at long last a good school is partnering a good brand”.
He advised the students to take their lessons serious in order to achieve high academic excellence.
The Headmistress of Achimota, Mrs. Beatrice Tsotso Adom, thanked management of
TCCBCGL for its immense contribution towards development projects in the country.
“This is the first time a corporate entity has adopted a school block to refurbish it yearly, and we are grateful for it”, she noted.
Mrs. Adom therefore urged other corporate bodies in the country to emulate the footsteps of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Ghana Limited.
