Komenda College of Education in the Central Region has received 41 computers donated by a businessman, Mr. Mohammed Baakoe in conjunction with his company, DRW.
During the donation ceremony on Monday 1st July, 2024, Principal of Komenda College, Very Reverend Professor Kwesi Nkum Wilson, noted that Mr. Baakoe, having recognised the significant role the College is playing in training teachers to boost education in Ghana, agreed to donate the serviced computers from DRW as part of the company’s community investment initiatives.
The Principal explained that the donated computers would enhance the ICT Unit and support teaching and learning at the College, ensuring that students graduate with better computer knowledge and skills.
While presenting the computers, Mr. Baakoe mentioned his special connection to Komenda College, as his father was once a tutor there.
Reverend Professor Kwesi Nkum Wilson expressed his gratitude to Mr. Baakoe, noting the substantial improvement in the number of computers since his appointment as Principal in 2019, increasing from about 10 to approximately 130.
He assured Mohammed Baakoe that Komenda College would take good care of the donated computers and urged the ICT students to maintain them properly.
Commissioning the computers, the Bishop of the Cape Coast Diocese of the Methodist Church and the Council Chair of the College, Right Reverend Richardson Aboagye Andam, thanked Mr. Baakoe and praised the Principal’s ongoing efforts to develop the College.
He highlighted several achievements under the Principal’s administration, including procuring a Principal's duty car, refurbishing the Home Economics block and ICT Lab, solving the issue of inadequate tables and chairs, and beginning the construction of staff bungalows set to be completed next year.
He concluded with a blessing for the Principal and his management team.
The Principal also revealed that in 2021, Mr. Baakoe and DRW, where he serves as an IT Lead, donated two servers currently used for Komenda College's Wi-Fi and networking activities.
Founded in 1992 DRW is a technology-driven, diversified trading firm that integrates risk management, research, and technology in markets worldwide.
