The donation formed part of the bank’s efforts geared towards supporting major players who are directly involved in containing the spread of the novel coronavirus in the region.

The region now has 360 cases. The Greater Accra region continues to lead with 5,148 cases whilst the Ashanti Region comes second with1, 099.
At the brief presentation on Wednesday, the regional manager of the bank, Mr Martin Abofra said, “We realized that water is very essential in this fight against covid19 so we decided that we will come and present to them this jumbo water storage facility so that they can put it wherever they think will be most useful in the fight against the pandemic.”
He noted the bank would continue to support other identified institutions and bodies battling the virus in due course.
