Prudential Bank has donated GHS 83,200.00 to the Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) for the procurement and installation of eight projectors at the university’s lecture theatres.

The donation was in response to a call for assistance by the KsTU to facilitate and enhance effective teaching and learning at the university.

Presenting the cheque to the university, the Area Manager for the Northern Sector of the bank, Jalaludeen Emran Adam, said the donation was in line with the bank’s commitment to promote education through enhanced academic excellence and technological advancement.

So, we are realising this dream with this donation.”

“This will really equip our lecture theatres and immensely facilitate academic work on our campus,” he said.
