UGBS Class of 1985 Donates Smart TVs to Enhance Digital Learning
University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) has received a donation of digital equipment from its 1985-year group (Platinum ’85) as part of efforts to enhance teaching and learning through technology. The presentation was done on 11th February 2026 to the Dean of UGBS- Prof. Ernest Y. Tweneboah-Koduah, Head of the Department of Organisation and Human Resource Management (OHRM)- Prof. Damoah Obi Berko and the School Administrator- Mr. Emmanuel Poku-Sarkodee.
The donation comprised five TCL QLED Pro 65-inch Smart TVs, five BLUTEK wall mount brackets, four DTECH 100-metre HDMI cables, and six 15-metre HDMI cables. The items are expected to support digital learning across selected classrooms within the school. The President of the 1985-year group, Air Vice Marshal Issifa Kadri (Rtd) noted that the alumni were motivated by a desire to give back to the school that shaped their professional journeys. He explained that the group deliberately chose to invest in digital equipment in recognition of the evolving technological landscape in education.

Receiving the items on behalf of the school, the Dean expressed appreciation to the alumni group for the thoughtful gesture. He remarked that he was pleasantly surprised by the donation, noting that he did not expect such support from the 1985-year group. “They are retired, and the school should rather be supporting them,” he said, commending their continued commitment to the growth of UGBS. He further acknowledged the broader contributions of the Alumni Association to the development of the school, emphasising that alumni support remains instrumental to infrastructure and academic advancement.
He expressed appreciation for the TCL brand and indicated that the new screens would significantly enhance classroom delivery. According to him, some classrooms will henceforth be equipped with two screens, a development he described as essential for effective teaching and improved student engagement. The Alumni Association has previously supported the school through the renovation of the BHJCR offices, the provision of smart boards, and several other projects, some of which are yet to be commissioned.
Members of the alumni group present for the presentation were Air Vice Marshal Issifa Kadri (Rtd), Mr. Peter Opoku-Mensah, Mr. Yaw Brobbey-Mpiani, Mr. Isaac Akesseh, Madam Vivian Afa, Mr. Kofi Saah Addison and Mr. Franklin Owusu Asafo Adjei.
