Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation company (BOST) has generously gifted 10,000 exercise books to seven government basic schools in Bolgatanga municipality, Upper East Region.

This initiative falls under BOST's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, aiming to enhance education in schools located near their depots nationwide.

The donation benefited schools like Bolgatanga Anglican Kindergarten, Primary and Junior High Schools, Tindonsobligo 31st December Kindergarten, Kalbeo-Tindonsobligo Kindergarten School, and Kalbeo-Tindonsobligo Primary and Junior High Schools, where 1,998 pupils received five books each.

Yaw Antwi Dadzie, BOST's government relations, corporate social responsibility, and protocol manager, emphasized the company's commitment to provide similar donations to other basic schools across the country as part of their initiative to distribute a total of one hundred thousand exercise books nationwide. So far, 60,000 books have been distributed in the Northern sector, including the Upper East, Savanna, and Northern regions.

Dadzie also mentioned that BOST is supporting the university education of fifty brilliant but needy students through their scholarship program, with the aim of cultivating future leaders for the country.

The headteachers of the beneficiary schools expressed their gratitude to BOST for the valuable donation. They shared the pressing needs of their schools, including the lack of essential facilities such as toilets and information communication technology centers.

One headmistress urged the government and corporate entities to provide the school with IT tools, especially computers, to enhance teaching and learning in the modern era.
