Kumasi, Sept 19, GNA – Corporate bodies have been asked to contribute resources to the development of educational infrastructure in the country.

Mr Peter Narh, Managing Director of Everpure Ghana Limited, producers of Everpure purified drinking water, who made the call, said education was the only medium through, which the nation could harness the potentials of the youth, create wealth and reduce poverty.
