Tigo Ghana supports Aboakyer festival
Accra, May 21, GNA - Tigo Ghana has donated cash
and assorted items worth over GHc10,000 to the
chief and people of Efutu Traditional Council to
support this year's Aboakyer festival.

“Supporting the rich Ghanaian culture and putting
smiles on the faces of many is always our
pleasure,” the head of marketing Tenu Awonoor of
Tigo said during the donation in a statement
copied to the Ghana News Agency on Monday.

He added: “Tigo has over the past year's
consistently supported festivals all over the
country in diverse ways most notably - the Tigo
festival train, which brings Ghana's finest
musicians together on one stage to perform to live
audience both at festival grounds and in the
comfort of their homes.

Nana Kofi Tekyi IV, Nifahene of the Efutu
Traditional Area at the presentation applauded
Tigo for the kind gesture and said the donation
would go a long way to support them in the
building of a proposed community centre.

The Aboakyer festival is celebrated annually by
the people of Simpa or Winneba in the Central
Region of Ghana in May each year.

During the festival people go out to hunt for a
deer to sacrifice unto their god to mark their
migration from the ancient western Sudan Empire.
