The facility, which was recycled from cargo containers would provide over 40,000 e-books on a wide range of subjects and is expected to benefit the over 1000 students and teachers of the school.
The commissioning of the facility forms part of MTN Ghana’s corporate social responsibility programmes dubbed 21 Days of Y’ello Care. This year’s was themed “Investing in education for all”.
Commissioning the facility, the Corporate Services Executive, Mrs Cynthia Lumor expressed her appreciation to partners, particularly the Ghana Education Service and staff volunteers who contributed to making the construction of the e-libraries a success.
She said similar e-library facilities had also been constructed in beneficiary communities in the Western and Brong Ahafo Regions to benefit more than 6000 students and teachers in those communities.
Mrs Lumor therefore, encouraged the students to take very good care of the facility and ensure that its intended purpose was achieved.
“We urge all the students to take their lessons very seriously and not limit the acquisition of knowledge to the classroom but to also research additional information from the internet. With access to the internet, the whole world is now your teacher,” she said.
The Headmaster of the Ningo SHS, Mr Edmund Botchway, expressed gratitude to MTN Ghana for choosing to site the facility at the school.
He said the provision of the e-library was timely since the school did not have a library or a computer laboratory.
“With this edifice, both students and teachers can now have access to a multiplicity of information and this will help them update their notes,” he said.
