Telecommunications firm MTN Ghana and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have handed over a $100,000 Information Communication Technology (ICT) centre to a district in Ghana, according to The Chronicle newspaper.

The facility is aimed at particularly school children within relatively disadvantaged areas of Kpong in the Lower Manya Krobo District, which is in the Eastern region of the country.

The centre is also the fourth of ten MTN and UNDP learning centres to have been commissioned across the country in the last year. Techimantia in Brong Ahafo, Ningo in Greater Accra, and Nyinahin in the Ashanti region are the other places that have benefited from the projects.

"As market leaders in the telecommunication industry, MTN realised the ICT education deficit in the country, and took up the challenge to complement government's effort in this area," said corporate services executive of MTN, Cynthia Lumor.
