Telecel Ghana has donated assorted food supplies and a cash gift of GH¢50,000 to the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Dr Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu and the Muslim community in support of Eid al-Fitr celebrations.

The donation, presented at the Office of the National Chief Imam in Accra, included bags of rice, gallons of cooking oil, cartons of canned tomatoes and packs of soft drinks and water, intended to support community sharing and festive preparations at the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

The telecommunications company said the contribution reflects its continuing relationship with Muslim communities across Ghana and recognition of the Chief Imam’s role in promoting peace, social cohesion and interfaith harmony.

Leading the Telecel Ghana delegation, Director of External Affairs, Komla Buami, said the support formed part of the telecom operator’s engagement with the Muslim community and acknowledged the significance of Eid as a season of generosity and togetherness.

“Given that the Muslim community has gone through a successful period of fasting and prayers to Almighty Allah, we are here to congratulate you as you prepare to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

"We are also seeking the Chief Imam’s guidance and prayers as we move into a new season of growth, expansion and investments to improve the quality of our service,” Mr Buami said.

The Office of the National Chief Imam welcomed the donation and praised the company for maintaining a consistent presence in moments of national and religious importance.

Sheikh Sharubutu offered prayers for the company’s leadership, staff and continued growth, noting that such gestures strengthen bonds between corporate institutions and communities.

“May your work endeavours be blessed and your business flourish for this kind gesture. I pray that God bless our nation with more peace and harmony,” Sheikh Sharubutu said.

The donation also aligns with the telco’s broader support for traditional and religious festivals across the country, as Eid al-Fitr marks one of the most important periods on the Islamic calendar.

Eid al-Fitr is marked by communal prayers, family gatherings, charitable giving and the sharing of food after a month of fasting during Ramadan.

For many Muslim families, such support helps ease the cost of celebration at a time when communal sharing remains central to the spirit of the celebration.
