The Volta River Authority (VRA) and the VRA Division of the Public Sector Workers Union (PSWU) have made separate cash donations to the children of the late William Samuel Kwasi Aboagye, a former employee of the Authority.
The donation which amounted to about GHS 5,170.00 included contributions from VRA, the VRA Division of the PSWU, Accra/Tema Union Welfare and some sympathizing members of staff.
Making the donation on behalf of VRA and the PSWU, Mr. Timothy Akyea-Obeng, Chairman of the Accra Local Union of VRA Division of PSWU, said the donation was in fulfillment of VRA’s funeral entitlement policy for wards of deceased members of staff.
Mr. Akyea-Obeng who was supported by Mrs. Harriet Nyarko, Second Vice Chairpson of the Local Union and some members of the group, described the late Aboagye as a person who was full of commitment and dedication to his responsibilities and asked the family representatives who were present at the donation to emulate that virtue and be responsible guardians to the children he left behind.
Miss Ruth Frempomaa Aboagye, a daughter of the deceased person receiving the donation on behalf of her siblings expressed gratitude to the VRA for its immense role contributed in support of honouring her late father with a befitting burial.
The late Samuel Aboagye was born on July 17, 1954 at Akim Ayirebi in the Eastern Region. He was employed at the Union Trading Company (UTC) and worked there for a couple of years before joining the Volta River Authority on June 10, 1980 where he worked for thirty-three years.
