Ashanti Centre for National Culture presents computers to 24 district offices

The Ashanti Regional Centre for National Culture has ex­pressed its determination to enhance the efficiency and effec­tiveness of cultural programming and documentation across the districts in the region.

It has, therefore, procured and presented 28 computers and ac­cessories to the 24 district offices it operates.

Similarly, the office of the Dep­uty Director, Administrator, Ac­counts Department and the Visual Art Department (Painting and Graphic Session) have also been furnished.

According to the Ag.Regional Director of the Centre, Peter Kofi Marfo, the development would en­able the officers in the district to document, preserve and promote all cultural activities and sites in their districts for tourism promo­tion in the country.

He disclosed these during their staff durbar, here, at the week­end.

Mr Marfo emphasized that, the computers and the accessories would go a long way to make information flow between the Re­gional office and the Metropolitan, Municipal and District offices more accessible and would also help in storage and retrieval of documents easily.

The dean of the District Cultural Officers, Isaac Fynn, received the computers on behalf of the Met­ropolitan, Municipal and District offices and expressed gratitude to the leadership of the centre.

Mr Stephen Kwamena Anderson, the Municipal Cultural Officer for Kwabre East on behalf of the Metropolitan, Municipal Cultural Officers, thanked management of the centre for such a laudable ges­ture and asked for more resources for the upliftment of culture in Ashanti Region.
