An independent power producer with a focus on social responsibility and community building, Genser Energy Ghana Limited, has provided funding for the building and equipping of a new building for the Ghana Armed Forces’ Jungle Warfare School located in Akyem Achiase, Eastern Region.
The building, known as the Otwasuom Osae Nyampong VI Block, was the idea of Nana Osae Nyampong VI, the board chairman of Genser Energy.
It would house the school’s demonstration company and provide them with the necessities for training and comfortable living. The structure has a water reservoir, bathrooms, beds with mattresses, and wardrobes.
Military officials, community and religious leaders, and Genser Energy representatives attended the historic ceremony.
In his capacity as the commander of the 17 Army Signal Brigade, Brigadier General Anthony Ntem thanked the chief of defense staff and emphasized the need of preserving the recently built block for future usage.
“We are very grateful for this kind gesture. I want to entreat the soldiers to put the place into proper use. Maintain the place so that it will last long for us,” he said.
Speaking passionately about Genser’s dedication to improving local communities, Nana Osae Nyampong VI, for his part, emphasized the significance of boosting Ghanaian institutions such as the Jungle Warfare School.
“Ghana can only be built by Ghanaians. What you see here is an effort by Genser to make the soldiers comfortable. Thank you for giving the company (Genser) the opportunity to serve you. The block will help with efficient training,” the Genser Energy board chairman continued.
