We believe that by committing part of our profit to worthy causes such as this will help build a 'feel good' atmosphere among not only members of the communities in which we operate, but also among our workforce who feel proud knowing that they are helping contribute to community empowerment and growth” Mr. Kpordzih said.
“adb's ability to support many social projects also plays a role in building customer loyalty and we would continue to support such causes which will benefit the wider public at large” Mr. Kpordzih added as he handed over the keys to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohhamed Ahmed Alhassan.
The MD of the bank also underscored the importance of the Ghana Police in sustaining the country’s development agenda. “The role of law enforcement agencies especially the Ghana Police in our society and in fact our everyday lives cannot be undervalued. Our businesses, our homes and all individuals depend on this institution for their safety and a peaceful coexistence which is a key requirement to achieve sustainable development” he said.
Receiving the keys to the block, IGP Mohhamed Ahmed Alhassan commended adb for responding to its request and urged other corporate bodies to emulate the gesture show by the bank.
