The University of Ghana has received a donation of 50 high-end laptops from Fidelity Bank Ghana in support of the Vice Chancellor’s flagship ‘One Student, One Laptop’ initiative, aimed at strengthening students’ access to digital learning tools. 

The laptops were presented by the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Ghana, Mr. Julian Opuni, during a brief ceremony on campus. The donation forms part of the Bank’s broader commitment to advancing education and equipping students with the digital tools required for 21st-century learning. 

The engagement that culminated in the donation was facilitated by the University’s Institutional Advancement Directorate (InAD), underscoring the Directorate’s strategic role in cultivating partnerships that deliver tangible value to the University community. 

Professor Peter Quartey, Chair of the One Student, One Laptop Committee, noted that the initiative has already demonstrated significant impact and assured stakeholders that the laptops will be allocated to students most in need through the Committee’s established screening process. 

Speaking on behalf of the Director of the Institutional Advancement Directorate, Mr. Richard Karikari, Head of Product Development and Financing, expressed appreciation to Fidelity Bank Ghana for fulfilling its commitment to the University. 

Receiving the laptops, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, thanked Fidelity Bank Ghana for honouring its promise and supporting the University’s first Strategic Priority of delivering a transformative student experience. She emphasised that access to personal laptops is essential to building students’ digital capacity and improving their preparedness for the modern workforce. She further highlighted the value of industry partnerships in equipping students with practical skills, real-world exposure, and opportunities for independent learning, and expressed optimism for sustained and deepened collaboration. 

Beyond the donation, both institutions reaffirmed their commitment to expanding collaboration, particularly through structured internship opportunities that will expose students to real-world industry experience. 

Also representing the Institutional Advancement Directorate at the ceremony were Madam Adwoa Abrokwa, Head of Alumni Development, and Ms. Joy Lamptey, Head of Project Implementation.
