Jacobu Town gets modern ICT centre


Thanks to the intervention of Odotobri Rural Bank, Jacobu, the district capital for the Amansie Central District now has a community library.
 
Odotobri Rural Bank with its headquarters at Jacobu responded to the needs of the society as part of its corporate social responsibility in putting up the facility as away to boost education in the society.


The 30-seater capacity centre fully connected with internet is welcome news to the general public in the district and students in particular since it will provide avenue for practical learning of ICT skills. Students therefore have reason to smile since there is an avenue to channel their energy after school to acquire new skills for the future.

District Chief Executive for the area, Emmanuel Dede Appiah who jointly commissioned the facility with Mr. Wadja Director, GES, Nana Fosu Kwadwe Abiri II Jacobuhene and some Board Members of the Odotobri Rural Bank Ltd, commended the bank for the initiative and their involvement in trying to promote education in the district. He however, appealed to the bank to extend the gesture to other communities in the district where they have branches so those there can also benefit.

The DCE also reminded those who will manage the centre to ensure strict adherence to best practices to prevent people from accessing materials that are detrimental to their development, adding that internet though positive equally posses threats which has to be well managed. 

Mr. Appiah also admonished students to attach importance to their education and to take advantage of the ICT centre to learn good skills that will propel them to greater heights in future.
