Stanbic gives to RENFAG

Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited, on Friday, donated GH¢3,200 to the Retired National Footballers Association of Ghana (RENFAG).

The donation was to help the Association establish a secretariat, develop training programmes for young footballers, and promote the welfare of their members.

Making the donation, Wing Commander Samuel Allotey (rtd), Head of Human Resources at Stanbic Bank, said the donation would also help the Association meet some of their challenges such as age, health and other social problems. Wing Commander Allotey said though members of RENFAG were great players of their time, they were unfortunate not to benefit from the huge transfer fees, winning bonus and other incentives modern players are earning, hence the need to grant them support.

He said his outfit was interested in the development of football in the country, andtherefore sees the association as one of the steps towards it.

The Head of Human Resource, urged both retired and present footballers to take advantage of the numerous investments and schemes of the bank, as part of their preparations for the future.

Wing Commander Allotey however called on other corporate bodies to come to the aid of the Association, since their members had contributed immensely to the development of soccer in the country.

Mr. Willie Klutsem Public Relations Officer of RENFAG, expressed appreciation to the bank for assisting them, adding “the money will go a long way to save a lot of lives.”

He said Edward Aqcuah, a former member of the national team, was on the verge of losing his sight, and therefore part of the money would be used to cater for his operation.

Mr. Ibrahim Sunday, Acting President of the Association, also appealed to other corporate bodies to support members of RENFAG during these difficult moments.
