Over five thousand winners were reward by Electroland Ghana Limited(EGL) in it’s Akye3de3 Kese3 Promotions.
The promotion will continue till 2029, as EGL extends it’s partnerships with National Lottoeries Authority’s Caritas platform.

Also, the four ultimate regional winners received about GHC100,000 worth of SAMSUNG, TCl, Midea and NASCO electronics house makeover with the Midea Winner getting a full expense paid trip to Morocco to watch the AFCON finals.
Speaking to ghanaiantimes.com.gh, Marketing and Media Relations Manager of EGL, Adiza Ibrahim said, the ongoing expansion of the showroom in Northern Region, which is expected to be recommissioned before Q2 2026 will help reduce unemployment in the region and increase manpower for the business.
She said, with 33 shops nationwide, Electroland provides substantial local employment, prioritising hiring from each destination locality and creating opportunities for local vendors.
She added that plans are underway to open five new shops yearly, bringing world-class products closer to doorsteps across all 16 regions, adding that in 2025, it expanded into strategic areas, including Swedru, Akim Oda, Dansoman, Oyarifa, and further growth in Kumasi.
Adiza Ibrahim further revealed that 2026 will be bigger and better than what customers have experienced.
“We have rewarded over 5000 customers, some customers win more than just an item for just buying a product. So in 2026, we have extended our partnership with the National Lottoeries Authority’s (NLA) Caritas platform, so Akye3de3 Kese3 is something that has come to stay,” she revealed.
According to her, Electroland Ghana will extend it to 2029, adding that it will move to Volta, Western, Eastern Regions and all others to ensure fairness in distribution.
“Our core mission is to give customers a compelling reason to buy with us and feel genuinely excited about their purchases. Akye3de3 Kese3
is more than a promo; it’s our commitment to sharing success with the communities that have fueled our growth for over 15 years,” she added.
Launched in October 2024, the initiative has already impacted over 5,000 beneficiaries, solidifying its status as the largest and most impactful promotion of its kind ever run by an electronics dealership in Ghana within a single year.

Dr Theresa Baffour, an advocate for ending violence and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of SAHM SAHW Foundation, has said that society plays a critical and pivotal role in breaking the cycle of domestic violence.
According to her, domestic violence is a major contributor of making women, who are mostly the victims, mentally derailed and unable to engage in economic activities.
She said this when the foundation called on the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, to solicit support for the initiative by the “Strong and Healthy Minds, Strong and Healthy Women” (SAHM SAHW) to combat domestic violence within the Ga State.
The visit was occasioned by the fact that domestic violence cases have become quite prevalent in the Ga communities and is retarding growth.
According to her, the canker was an impediment to national development because the victims were usually tortured and would have to go through series of therapies to return to the right state of mind.
Dr Baffour mentioned that Gender-Based Violence (GBV) places a mental toll on women, and was, therefore, important to break the cycle through comprehensive mental health support, crisis intervention and empowerment programmes in communities with high rates of GBV.
This intervention, she underscored, would help in empowering the denigrated victim of domestic violence to soundly heal, build and thrive.
Dr Baffour added that the initiative would provide holistic, trauma-informed mental health care and advocacy for young women affected by domestic violence.
According to her, the above statement would create safe spaces for healing and equipping them with entrepreneurial skills for renewed hope and empowered life.
The Ga Mantse pledged his support for the laudable initiative to combat domestic violence and also acknowledged the need to address it in the Ga State.
Further endorsement came from Justice Julia Naa-Yarley Adjei Amoah, Chief of Staff at the Office of the Ga Mantse, as she commended the team of SAHM SAHW Foundation for taking a bold step to end the canker in the Greater Accra.
She added that it was a step in the right direction to save vulnerable women from torture, stress and emotional abuse.

Traders have returned to the streets of Accra, occupying pavements and stretches of some roads after the last major decongestion exercise.
The exercise, which was aimed at restoring order in areas like Kingsway, CMB, Rawlings Park, Tudu etc, have now been defeated.
From Kingsway to Rawlings Park, traders display several wares including, footwear, herbal medicines, plastic products, fresh fish, second-hand clothing, and vegetables, among others.
Local Evangelists are also not left out as they scramble for spaces on the streets.
Pedestrians, therefore, find it difficult to move around when shopping, due to the human and vehicular congestion created by the traders.
In an interview with The Spectator, Auntie Abigail, a trader, said her return to the streets was to sell more, and she saw nothing wrong with it.
Hajia, who deals in wholesale items, indicated that they were unable to make sales as their colleagues move to the pavement and since customers don’t want to come inside, they prefer to buy from them.
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of Accra Metropolitan Assembly, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, has given traders a grace period to go back to their shops.
