KRIF Ghana rewards loyal customers, activates e-commerce platform
About 37 loyal customers of KRIF Ghana Limited, a leading distributor of office stationery and equipment, were rewarded when the company held an exhibition and award ceremony in Accra on Wednesday.
The awardees, mainly corporate entities, took home citations and hampers worth of KRIF Ghana products. Others had the opportunity to purchase items on display at discount prices.
Rev Kennedy Okosun, Executive Chairman of KRIF Ghana, said the gesture was to celebrate customers who had patronised the products and services of the company for the past 38 years.
He said the customers remained major shareholders in the business hence the need to celebrate those who continued to support the company directly and indirectly.
“We recognise the collaborative spirit that exists between us and our customers. We value the insight and unwavering support they provide in shaping our products and services and we will continue to improve on this achievement in the years ahead,” Rev Okosun noted.
Expressing appreciation to other partners, he said the company would continue to improve the quality of products and services to ensure customers had value for money.
The ceremony also saw the re-launch of the KRIF Ghana e-commerce platform which allows clients to purchase a wide range of items at their convenience.
The website is rated for its simple interface, great user experience and affordable products. A number of KRIF Ghana products ranging from safes, money-counting machines, stationery, and shredders, are available on the site.
Apart from visiting the company’s office locations, Rev Okosun said customers could select the items online, make payments and have them delivered at their doorsteps. KRIF Ghana represents 26 different brands from America, Japan, Germany, Denmark and other countries.
Muslims across the country celebrated this year’s Eid-ul-Adha in a colourful and spiritually uplifting atmosphere under the theme, “A Season of Sacrifice, Solidarity and Spiritual Renewal.”
The celebration brought together Muslims from diverse backgrounds in a remarkable display of faith, unity and cultural heritage.
The occasion was marked by special Eid prayers at various designated grounds, the slaughtering of rams in homes for sharing among family members, friends and the less privileged, as well as musical concerts and recreational activities including horse riding.
Leading the celebration was the Chief Imam, Dr Sheikh Osman Sharubutu.
While the national celebration was held at the Black Star Square where President John Dramani Mahama was the Special Guest of Honour, similar gatherings took place at different centres across the capital and other regions of the country.
A visit by The Spectator to some celebration grounds revealed Muslims, both young and old, elegantly dressed in colourful jalabiya and other Islamic attire, reflecting the rich culture and traditions of the Muslim community.
The celebration also portrayed the spirit of religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence in the country, as a number of Christians joined their Muslim counterparts to mark the occasion.
Muslim leaders and government officials used the opportunity to call on the faithful to uphold the teachings of the Holy Quran, renew their spiritual commitment and refrain from acts capable of undermining the peace, unity and security of the nation.
They further urged Ghanaians to continue to live in harmony and support one another for national development.

Dear Obaa Yaa,
During Eid-ul- Adha celebration, I decided to spend the weekend at my boyfriend’s place since we were planning towards our marriage.
To my surprise, what keeps me wide awake, restless and frustrated every single time is that he snores loudly like a generator running on full power, and I genuinely cannot get any rest
At a point, I thought it was just a normal thing, but I have realised it is something he does with ease and doesn’t see anything wrong with it.
When he steps out in the morning, I try to get enough sleep because I may not sleep in the evening.
The most annoying thing is that, he always wants to cuddle me. These two things are a no for me and a red flag.
We are about to get married, what should I do?
Enam, Keta.
Dear Enam,
The snoring and constant cuddling are frustrating, but you don’t have to choose between sleep and closeness.
Start with the snoring: check if it’s worse when he sleeps on his back, cut out alcohol before bed, try nasal strips or a humidifier, and see a doctor if he pauses while breathing.
For quick relief, foam earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones help a lot.
Separate blankets, a bigger bed, or sleeping apart on some nights often makes couples rest well and feel closer overall.
Bring this up before the wedding .Tell him you want to wake up next to him for years to come, but sleep deprivation makes you both miserable.
Test earplugs and side-sleeping this weekend, and if it’s still unbearable, bring in a doctor. Good sleep matters more for your marriage than staying glued together all night.
