Mr. Kojo Choi represented Ghana CEO's in presenting Donations to the National COVID-19 Trust Fund

CEO Network Ghana has made a second tranche donation of GH¢150,000 to the COVID-19 National Trust Fund at Jubilee House, the seat of Ghana’s presidency in Accra. The donation is the second tranche of a targetted sum of one million Ghana cedis it is raising to support the national fight against COVID-19.

In a brief presentation ceremony at Jubilee House, founder and chief executive of the network, Ernest De-Graft Egyir, reminded the Trustees that: “The Network has already donated GH¢200,000, so this second donation brings the total contribution to GH¢350,000”. He assured that they will return to augment their contribution.

Receiving the donation, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees for the National COVID-19 Trust Fund, Justice Sophia Akuffo, expressed gratitude to the Network and its member CEOs for their benevolence.

Justice Akuffo revealed that the Trustees’ initial expectation was that they were going to round-up their work within a relatively short period. However, they have realised that the needs are enormous and will require further assistance from the public. The donations constitute the second phase of the network’s campaign dubbed ‘CEO COVID-19: Stop the Spread’.

The campaign’s first part was a preventive and proactive call urging topmost CEOs, government officials, diplomats, board directors and leaders to step up and lead boldly to ensure the nation overcomes the scourge of the virus in the shortest possible time. The donation to the fund is the second phase of the network’s campaign.

The CEO Network is a coalition of over 200 business leaders which connect with the purpose of improving and promoting good business and professional ethics. Every year, the network and its partners organise Ghana’s foremost business conference, the Ghana CEO Summit. The summit’s 5th edition will be launched when the nation reins-in the COVID-19 pandemic.
