Tigo Ghana has presented smartphones and 1-year fully connected modems to graduating cadet officers of the Ghana Military Academy at the Military Academy and Training Schools (MATS) in Accra.
At a short ceremony, the Mobile Network Operator handed over the items worth GHS 19,500 and a cheque for GHS 10,000 as their contribution to deepening the relationship with the Ghana Military Academy (GMA) and the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) as a whole. It would also enable the cadet officers stay digitally connected to their friends and family and aid in their research activities.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Military High Command, Commandant MATS and Commander GMA, the Chief of the Defence Staff, Vice Admiral Matthew Quashie, expressed his deepest appreciation to Tigo for the support.
He hoped for more of such collaborations and emphasized GAF was particularly interested in developing and building such relationships with Corporate Ghana and encouraged others to partner GAF.
He said hoped such gestures would deepen the civil-military relationship and urged all organisations to emulate the gesture of Tigo.
Present at the ceremony were the Chief of the Naval Staff, Rear Admiral GM Biekro; Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Samson-Oje; Commandant, MATS, Rear Admiral EA Bonsu; Deputy Commandant, MATS, Brig Gen EMK Yeboah; Commander GMA, Brig Gen M Akpastu; senior officers and some management members from Tigo.
