OFFINSO COLLEGE OF EDUCATION (OFCE) GOES GREEN
The Offinso College of Education (OFCE), this year, 2024, decided to live up to the colour ‘green’ in its logo by adding to its already green space. With an acceptance and approval from the College Principal, Very Rev. Dr. Joseph Nkyi Asamoah, a proposal submitted by Mr. Collins Tetteh Abeni, an Assistant Secretary for the college to partake in the well-sold annual programme, Green Ghana Day, was to be implemented.
To this, the Principal appointed a Six-Member Green Ghana Day Committee, ably chaired by Mr, Kofi Owusu Achaw, the most senior tutor, to champion the Green Ghana Day programme. The members of the committee were; the Dean of Students’ Affairs, Mr. Audustine Adjei, Mr. Johnson Korankye, the Estate Officer, Rev. Peter Reigndorf Okyere, a tutor, Dr. Anna M. Naah, a Hall Mistress and Mr. Collins Tetteh Abeni, an Assistant Secretary.
The Green Ghana Day took place on Friday, 7th June 2024. On this day, the tree-planting exercise was, led by the Committee Chairman, Mr. Kofi Owusu Achaw. His activeness and dedication throughout the exercise was so infectious that the members of the Committee could not afford to not show the same human qualitative principles.
The virtues overflowed its boundaries so much so that it affected both the Teaching and Non-Teaching staff of the college who participated in the event as well.
Below are some pictures from the event.
It is worth stating that a few days before the main exercise, the Committee, led by some Offinso Municipal Forestry Commission Officers, had pegged areas of the OFCE campus where the trees were to be planted on the 7th of June, 2024. Significant among the participants was the newly appointed Vice Principal of OFCE, Dr. William Kwabena Nantwi.
Generally, the activity was refreshingly successful. In all, the college planted 300 plants, made up of about seven different species. The event which began at 9:30 am ended joyfully at 11:30 am when the Committee Chair, on behalf of the College Principal, Management, staff and students, enthusiastically thanked all participants for their contribution to the success of the exercise.
Among the participants were Mr. Addai, the College Auditor, Mr, Francis Ofori, Head of the Department (Maths & ICT), Mad. Muriel Dangah, GESI guru.
