The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) Foundation has been honoured by the Student Financial Aid Office (SFAO) of the University of Ghana at a short ceremony organized to recognize the contributions of donors to supporting needy but brilliant students.
The Foundation was among a list of other Corporate Bodies, Churches, Non-Governmental entities, Individuals and Alumni who have, over the years, helped the SFAO to reach out to students with financial difficulties.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, in a brief remark, expressed the University’s gratitude to the various organizations and individuals for their donations to the SFAO which has enabled them to support some students to pay their way through school.
