Mrs Harriet Yartey, Managing Director, CWG Ghana, said "Excellence is an integral part of the corporate culture of CWG and this has defined CWG's approach to our CSR projects, business and service delivery over the years."

Presenting the 2018 prize to Mr Oreoluwa Ogundipe, the 20-year-old who came out top in the Computer Science Department, Mrs. Yartey said excellence cuts across all the sectors that the company serves.

CWG Ghana has sponsored the best graduating student from the Computer Science Department of the University of Ghana for more than half a decade, to highlight its belief of supporting the best information technology talents for the nation's future.

Mrs Yartey said this was the first award won by a male in the last five years.

She said the annual award presentation was an attestation of the importance the company places on hard work and qualitative education.

"We boast of an array of professionals, whose expertise has formed the core of service providers across Africa. Our premium on quality workforce explains our emphasis on quality education," she added.

Mrs Yartey gave an assurance of the company's continue support to students at the university and would soon extend it to other tertiary institutions.

She said education ultimately offered young people the best opportunity in life to achieve their dreams and become the leaders of tomorrow.

Mr Ogundipe, who currently works at expressPay, a leading payment processing company, as a data and software engineer, said it feels good to be acknowledged and rewarded for hard work.

"I feel good and it is a nice acknowledgement. I hope it keeps the students inspired to do more to win such awards," he added.

CWG Ghana Limited, a member of the Pan-African Information Communication Technology Company, CWG Plc., is a full-service IT company providing products and services that cut across the ICT value chain of hardware, software and communications.
