Kingdom Exim Group has donated an interactive flat panel and several desktop computers to the Centre for Migration Studies (CMS), University of Ghana, to support classroom modernisation, facilitate lectures, and strengthen research and administrative work at the Centre.
A delegation from the Group, led by the Group President and Chairman, Dr. James Kwame Rajamani, included the Group CEO, Dr. Immanuel Rajamani, the General Manager, Ms. Alberta Addoquaye, and the Operations Manager, Ms. Edwina Edinam Akorli.
Speaking first on behalf of the company, Ms. Akorli said the donation forms part of Kingdom Exim Group’s commitment to education and knowledge-driven development. She noted that the Group prioritises investment in education and expressed the company’s readiness to support institutions that contribute to research, policy, and national development.
Welcoming the delegation, the Director of the Centre for Migration Studies, Prof. Mary B. Setrana, alongside faculty and staff, expressed appreciation for the support. In her remarks, Prof. Setrana outlined the Centre’s mandate, explaining that CMS undertakes research, training, and policy engagement on migration and related development issues. She highlighted that in its two decades of existence, the Centre has influenced policy discussions within Africa and globally and continues to build sustainable partnerships that advance research, teaching, and policy outcomes.
Prof. Setrana also provided updates on efforts to restore the Centre’s facilities following storm damage a few years ago. She thanked Kingdom Exim Group for their generosity and assured them that the donations would be maximised to enhance teaching, learning, and research. She further extended an invitation to the Group to consider instituting scholarships to support students conducting research in areas aligned with the company’s interests.
The partnership that led to the donation was facilitated by ASP Raymond Mwinsori, a PhD Candidate at the Centre and member of the Ghana Police Service.
In brief remarks, Dr. James Kwame Rajamani said the Group continues to prioritise education and initiatives that contribute to human capital development. He expressed hope that the donation would mark the beginning of a long-term partnership with the University of Ghana.
