THE Managing Director (MD) of the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), Mr Kenneth Ashigbey, has called on corporate bodies in the country to subscribe to the Junior Graphic newspaper for distribution to deprived schools across the country.

He said that would help the students of those deprived schools who could not afford the newspaper to read and learn from it and for teachers to use as a teaching material for pupils and students.

Mr Ashigbey made the call when some executives of Glico Company paid a courtesy call on him at his office in Accra.

The visit by the Glico executives was to show appreciation to Graphic for its immense contribution towards the success of Glico for the past 25 years.

Accompanying the MD of Glico Life, Mr Edward Forkuo Kyei, were Mrs Vera Haizel-Cobbina, the Head of Technical; Mr Stephen Batu, Marketing and Business Development Manager, and Nana Efua Rockson, Corporate Affairs Manager.

Mr Ashigbey observed that most schools in the country were willing to get the Junior Graphic but could not afford it and, therefore, urged corporate bodies to choose deprived schools which they would be able buy the newspaper for, so that Graphic could distribute the Junior Graphic to those schools.

He stressed that it was imperative to empower the young generation because there were many challenges most of them faced in school, including the non-availability of textbooks and teachers, among others.

“Nobody is going to develop the country for us and so whatever way we can support the country, we should do so,” he advised.

Mr Kyei said as part of GLICO’s 25th anniversary, it had dedicated November to show appreciation to its cherished customers.

The celebration is on the theme: “25 Years together in Business: Our customers, our focus”.
