The support was presented to the Wa Chief Imam and his administration following an appeal made for assistance towards educational activities and other areas requiring financial support. After careful consideration by the appropriate committee of the Wa Community Co-operative Credit Union, the request was approved as part of the Union’s commitment to supporting meaningful community initiatives.
During the presentation ceremony, the CHIEF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DR. ABRAHAM AMBOMWIN DAKURAH, assured the Wa Chief Imam, his administration, and the people of Wa that the doors of the Wa Community Co-operative Credit Union remain open 24/7 to support genuine community needs that require financial assistance and other forms of partnership.
Dr. Dakurah explained that the responsibility of the Credit Union goes beyond providing financial services, adding that the institution remains dedicated to working with religious leaders, traditional authorities, and community stakeholders to promote growth and improve the lives of people.
He further encouraged the people of Wa to continue supporting the Wa Chief Imam and his administration so that they can successfully deliver on their vision, responsibilities, and programmes for the benefit of the community.
As part of his message during the ceremony, the CHIEF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DR. ABRAHAM AMBOMWIN DAKURAH, advised parents and guardians to begin teaching their children the importance of saving money from an early age.
He stated that when children are trained and guided on the habit of saving while they are young, it prepares them for a better future and helps them develop responsible financial management skills that can benefit them throughout their lives.
Dr. Dakurah emphasized that financial education is an important foundation for personal growth, encouraging parents to make savings education part of the upbringing of their children so that the next generation can become more financially responsible and independent.
The Chief Executive Director also appealed to the Wa Chief Imam to offer special prayers for the Credit Union, its leadership, management, staff, members, and all its activities, asking for continued blessings, growth, and greater opportunities for the institution.
He expressed the hope that through unity, prayers, and continued commitment to service, the Wa Community Co-operative Credit Union would continue to expand its support to the people of Wa and the entire Upper West Region.
