Ghana: Rlg TV Sets, Fridges to Hit Ghanaian Market This Year

hana's Information and Communication Technology (ICT) devices assembling giant, Rlg Communications Limited, has announced that the firm's electronic products including Television (TV) sets and fridges will hit the Ghanaian market this year.
The electronics branch of the most dynamic ICT firm in Ghana and beyond is expected to create 2000 jobs in the country.
This is also in the Chief Executive Officer of Rlg Communications Limited, Mr Roland Agambire's quest to create 1 million jobs for Ghanaian youth within some few years.
The Group Head, Legal and Corporate Affairs of Rlg Communications Limited, Mr. Prosper Harrison Addo made this known at the graduation of the first batch of the Ministry of Education Teachers' ICT and laptop distribution project in Accra, yesterday.
According to him, teachers would be one of the first groups to benefit, through schemes including hire-purchase, once production starts this year.
The nationwide Information and Communication Technology (ICT) training for 50,000 teachers project across the country was launched in December, last year, by President John Dramani Mahama.
The project aims at improving the teachers' knowledge base on ICT. They are also expected to pass on the knowledge acquired from the training to their pupils.
To this end, Rlg Institute of Technology, a subsidiary of Rlg Communications, had been contracted by government to train the teachers in the nationwide project.
The leading Ghanaian ICT firm will also provide the teachers with laptops for the first phase of the project.
Launching the project in Accra, last year, Mr. Mahama said: "it is necessary to train yourself in computer and ICT, both to make your work easier and also to be able to help your pupils in terms of the use of computer and ICT."
In the execution of this project, our understanding was that this programme would compliment an ongoing project by the Ministry of Education, which is the Basic School Computerization Project which has seen 60,000 laptops supplied to basic schools across the country already, Mr. Addo added.
