Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, celebrated his 41st birthday on Wednesday (5 April) by making a generous donation to the Nsawam Prison in the Eastern Region.
The donation, which was made on Wednesday included essential medicines, assorted food items and other necessities.
Lawyer Abena Oppong Nkrumah, who led the donation on behalf of the minister said the Oppong Nkrumah family hopes the donation will help in the welfare of inmates.
The donation was received by the authorities at the Nsawam Prison, who expressed their gratitude to the minister.
“We are very grateful for this donation, and we thank the minister for his kind gesture,” a senior prison official said. “These items will go a long way in providing for the basic needs of our inmates, and we appreciate the minister’s support in helping us to fulfill our mandate.”
The Nsawam Prison is one of the largest prisons in Ghana, with a population of over 3,000 inmates. The donation made by the minister will help to alleviate some of the challenges faced by the prison.
Nkrumah is also actively involved in various charitable initiatives particularly in Ofoase Ayirebi, where he serves as MP.
A year ago on his 40th birthday, he made a similar donation to the Good Shepherd Development Outreach, an orphanage in Akwatia.
