Explaining the rationale behind the gesture, the branch manager of AFB in Bolga, Mrs Augustina Telly, said the donation was an integral part of AFB’s social responsibility which it started last year.
She also said AFB believed that the development of innovative financial services products to serve the customers was fundamental to supporting development and empowering individuals in Ghana and Africa as a whole.
