At a presentation ceremony held at the campus of the college at Sowutuom yesterday, the Area Head of Odorkor, Apostle Patrick Aseyoro, said they were touched when they got information that there were some students on campus, particularly, International students who required some help.

He said, immediately they got the information they mobilised some resources to assist the students.

He advised the students to respect the lockdown directives by the government and observe safety protocols.

On behalf of Management of the University, the Rector also presented some items including milk, tinned fish, eggs, toilet roll and sachet water among others to the students.

The SRC president, Mr. Daniel Asomani and a representative of the International students also expressed appreciation to Management of PUC for the kind gesture.

The exercise is part of a Corporate Social Responsibility programme by Citi TV and Zoomlion in selected tertiary institutions in the country.

The others are the University of Ghana, University of Professional Studies and the Central University.

A statement from Citi TV said the “initiative by the company seeks to keep the campuses safe and clean for use when academic work resumes as schools are on forced break as part of government鈥檚 measures to curtail the spread of the coronavirus pandemic”.

According to the Managing Director of Citi TV and Citi FM, Samuel Atta-Mensah, the gesture is in response to the President’s call for support from organisations and individuals to help fight the pandemic.

Apostle Dr. Walker also advised persons who have been infected or contact traced and in quarantine not to flee isolation centres as that could threaten their own lives and the lives of others.

Erica and Ruth, accompanied by their husbands (Nicholas Lugg and Martin Goodison respectively), expressed joy about the level of progress and infrastructural development that has taken place after the pioneering role of their father after a tour of the campus and facilities of the University College.

At the PentVars Radio, they were given the opportunity to interact with the Host of the Morning Express, Maame Yaa Owusua Appiah, as they reminisced the early days of the School with a class of 5 students though they were very young then.

They used the opportunity to thank the leadership of the Church of Pentecost and Management of the University College for continuing the work of their father. 鈥淲e must thank COP leadership and Management of the University College for what we are seeing today. It鈥檚 a legacy to the foundation work by our dad,鈥� Ruth said.

51动漫 College started as a Bible Training Centre in Kumasi to prepare new ministers for the Church of Pentecost with Pastor David Mills as the first principal. In 1984, the Centre was moved to Madina in Accra as a Bible College and later in 2003, upgraded to a University College.

The activity was greatly successful and saw student and staff participation from the school community with 10 Doctors from Ridge Hospital examining 158 female students, 3 Male students and 12 female staffs during the day.

The Vice-Rector of PUC, Professor K.B. Omane-Antwi, who led the delegation from PUC to make the donation, said the donation was part of efforts to adequately resource libraries of some selected senior high schools in the country.

He charged the students to take their destinies in their own hands and work hard in order to excel in their studies and achieve great heights in life.

He said God has given the students the option of choosing life and prosperity so they should make good choices in order to attain those goals.

The Head Librarian of PUC, Mr. Michael Gyimah, presented the books to the Headmistress of the school, Madam Sylvia Isabella Laryea.

Mr. Gyimah said libraries were critical to academic and human development, and was hopeful that the books would help enrich the knowledge base of the students.

Methodist Girls鈥� SHS was established 35 years ago and is considered to be one of the fast-rising senior high schools in the country. The school recently won the 2019 World ROBOFEST Competition held in Michigan in the United States of America.
