The 2000 Alumni Year Group of Aburi Girls’ Senior High School, known as the Millennium Beacons, have commissioned and handed over the newly refurbished School Tower and Administration Block to the school as part of activities to mark their silver jubilee anniversary since leaving the school.

The event, which heralded a bonfire night and the School’s 79th Speech and Prize Giving Day, had Special Aide to President John Dramani Mahama, Mrs Joyce Bawah Mogtari, join the Aburi Girls Old Girls’ Association (AOGA) 2000 patron, Madam Obuobia Darko-Opoku, Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, AOGA 2000 Year Group, and Madam Akua Boahemah Owusu-Sekyere as Special Guests to perform the handing over ceremony.

Mrs Bawah Mogtari commended the AOGA 2000 Year Group for their efforts at giving back to the very institution that molded them into who they have become today.

To the headmistress, management, and staff, she urged them to make good use of the facilities while continuing their dedication to nurturing future leaders and maintaining high standards of academic and moral excellence.

On her part, Madam Owusu-Sekyere stated that the Tower, which served as an iconic symbol of the school for over 50 years and housed the school bell, the timer of the school, had seen little to no repair works. Its deteriorating state posed a significant risk to staff, students, parents, and visitors to the school.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.

But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
