Consolidated Bank Ghana LTD. (CBG) has reaffirmed its commitment to national development and the welfare of Ghana’s security services with a donation of one hundred and ninety-nine thousand, four hundred and fifty-five Ghana cedis (GH¢199,455.00) to the Artillery Training School at Akoefe Camp in the Volta Region.

The donation was presented at the Volta Barracks in Ho during the 16 Artillery Brigade’s End-of-Year West Africa Soldiers Social Activities (WASSA) celebration. The annual event brings together officers, soldiers, their families, and key stakeholders of the Brigade.

The Board Chairman of CBG, Chief Ernest Mawuli Agbesi, presented the cheque to the Commanding Officer of the Artillery Training School, Lt. Col. Patrick Atuiri, who received it on behalf of the school.

In his address, Chief Agbesi stated that CBG was proud to support the Ghana Armed Forces, particularly in strengthening training and improving the welfare of personnel. He explained that the donation forms part of the Bank’s support for a self-help initiative to construct a 60-bed dormitory for students of the Artillery Training School.

According to him, the project is expected to significantly enhance accommodation, expand training capacity, and improve overall learning outcomes at the school.

“As a wholly Ghanaian-owned bank, CBG considers it a responsibility to support institutions that serve the greater good of our country,” Chief Agbesi noted.

He added that the contribution reflects CBG’s broader commitment to corporate social responsibility, national security, and sustainable development. He further reaffirmed the Bank’s partnership with the Ghana Armed Forces and its readiness to support initiatives that strengthen the nation and improve the lives of servicemen and women.

The Guest of Honour, the Chief of the Army Staff, Major General Lawrence Kwaku Gbetanu, expressed profound appreciation to CBG for the donation and commended the Bank for its continued support towards the welfare and development of the Artillery Training School.

The WASSA celebration also featured the outdooring of Lt. Col. Charles Spencer Churchill Grant as the Colonel of the Regiment, adding further significance to the event.
