Accra, Ghana, April 17, 2020//-Staff of National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) have donated an amount of GHC 100,000.00 to the National COVID-19 Trust Fund.
The amount is a contribution by staff and management towards government’s effort to fight the global pandemic which has so far claimed eight lives in Ghana and more than a million lives globally.
Speaking at a brief ceremony at the Jubilee House in Accra, Chief Executive Officer of NAFCO, Hanan Abdul-Wahab said the gesture was the widow’s mite of himself and his entire staff across the country.
” These are times that we are all required to sacrifice and show compassion and our staff, from the security guard to the CEO felt the need to be part of this noble cause and this is to show we are all concerned”, the CEO said.
Former Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo who chairs the Board of Trustees of the Fund commended NAFCO for the donation.
” You have demonstrated that you are socially responsible as a corporate entity and I commend you and your staff for doing this. The Board of Trustees is indeed grateful to you”, Madam Akuffo remarked after receiving the donation.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo set up the National Covid-19 Trust Fund to mobilize corporate support to help fight the disease and its socio-economic impact on the populace.
NAFCO has so far been collaborating with faith-based organizations and MMDAs for the distribution of food to families and households in the Greater Accra and Greater Kumasi currently under lockdown.
