Former President of Zambia, Rupiah Banda has lauded the unique contribution being made by Africa’s premier electronic assembling company, RLG Communications towards solving the huge unemployment issue facing the continent.
He has therefore recommended RLG to replicate its initiatives in more African countries.
The visiting former Zambian leader was interacting with the Chief Executive of RLG Communications, Mr Roland Agambire when he paid working visit to RLG’s ultra-modern Assembly Plant at Osu in Accra.
Former president Banda is in Ghana to deliver a lecture on “Democracy and Good Governance in Africa” at the University of Ghana.
Rupiah Banda was President of Zambia between 2008 and 2011 and is currently the President-in-Residence at the African Presidential Centre, University of Boston in the United States of America.
Mr Banda toured RLG’s showroom, the mobile phone and computer assembling lines and interacted with company officials.
He commended the company’s founder and Chief Executive, Roland Agambire for “sacrificing his life for humanity”.
He said he was thrilled by interventions by RLG which have created employment for more than 30,000 people in Ghana, Nigeria and the Gambia and such initiatives were worth emulating by African governments.
The Chief Executive of RLG, Roland Agambire reiterated his commitment to ensure the youth on the continent are gainfully engaged to make meaningful contributions to the economies of various countries they live in.
