The Chief Executive Officer of Wincoshaft Engineering & Construction Ltd and Bingodee Company Limited, Alfred Kofi Bingo, has shown his support for this year’s Teacher/Educational Worker Prize Day in Obuasi by presenting items worth Gh14,000 to the Obuasi Municipal Education Directorate.
The generous donation included a deep freezer, gas cooker, and microwave oven.
The presentation was made in response to a request from the education directorate, which sought assistance from the company for the upcoming Teachers’ Awards scheduled for Thursday, 2 November 2023.
Addressing the media after the presentation, Alfred Kofi Bingo expressed his appreciation for the pivotal role that teachers play in the country’s human resource development.
He emphasized their contributions to shaping the lives of individuals.
“I have great respect and love for teachers, and I appreciate the tremendous role they have played in shaping our lives. We decided to support the Teachers’ Awards because we believe it is a worthy cause. I commend teachers in the Municipality for working hard to give our children a better future”, he said.
Mr. Bingo took the opportunity to call on individuals, institutions, and other stakeholders to collaborate with the government and teachers to promote education in the country. While acknowledging the efforts of the government and key players in the educational sector, he emphasized that it is essential for others to join in the effort to enhance the quality of education in the nation.
Upon receiving the donated items on behalf of the Directorate, the Human Resource Director, Godfred Banin, lauded the CEO of Wincoshaft and Bingodee for coming to the aid of the directorate. He expressed his belief that the donation would greatly motivate teachers in the Municipality to excel in their duties.
Mr. Banin shared that the Education Directorate is fully committed to making this year’s Teachers’ Awards a success. He noted that the last time teachers in the Municipality were recognized was in 2014 due to a lack of sponsorship.
“We have not had Teachers’ Awards since 2014 due to a lack of sponsorship. But through the efforts of the Education Director, George Alfred Koomson, and the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon Elijah Adansi-Bonah, this year we will be awarding teachers for their industry.”
Mr. Banin emphasized that the awards serve as a platform to show appreciation to teachers for their hard work and commitment to imparting knowledge and transforming the lives of young people in the Obuasi Municipality.
He also joined the calls for a more collaborative approach to educational development in the country, underlining that the government cannot carry the full responsibility of education and requires the support of parents, individuals, and institutions.
