“In just one year, we have united our members under a common vision,” he said. Mr. Biney also presented three laptops donated by Patron Mr. Denis Kenzie Foli Nador to key committees.

The ceremony included certificates of recognition for dedicated members. Public Relations Officer Mr. Prince Kwao Aboagye highlighted notable accomplishments over the past year:
