Story: George Ernest Asare, Kumasi
Milicom Ghana Limited, operators of Tigo in the country, have formally informed the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, about their contractual agreement to sponsor Kumasi Asante Kotoko for the next three years. They are to provide sponsorship pacakage worth $ 3 million for that period.
As part of the sponsorship package, the Board Chairman of Milicom, Mr Tismark Inja, has on behalf of Milicom presented a cheque for GH¢10,000 to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu, to support the Otumfuo Educational Fund.
He also gave souvenirs of their products to Otumfuo Osei Tutu with the assurance that Milicom would be committed to the effective and efficient development of Kotoko during that period to enable the club to achieve many laurels locally and internationally. The cheque and the products were received on behalf of Otumfuo Osei Tutu by the Akyempemhene, Oheneba Adusei Poku.
Presenting the cheque, Mr Inja gave the assurance that tiGo would provide the necessary support to the management of Kotoko to enable them to realise their dreams of becoming the best club in Africa. He said as the top cell phone providers in Ghana, they appreciated the value of efficiency and quality service and would therefore partner Kotoko to excel in all levels.
Mr Inja said since Kotoko was very dear to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, tiGo would not relent in their efforts to strengthen its relationship with the club to win the confidence of the Asantehene and the numerous supporters of the Porcupine Warriors.
Receiving the items, Oheneba Adusei Poku gave the assurance that Manhyia palace would provide all the requisite support and encouragement to ensure that the contract benefited the two parties.
He also commended Milicom for its quality service, making it possible for the company to win various awards. He, therefore, urged management to continue to strive hard to enable them stay on top for a long time.
