IBG supports African Teams
Released on 19 Jun 2010
The World Cup fever that has gripped the country and the rest of the world has indeed affected both individuals and organizations. Not to be left out is Intercontinental Bank Ghana which has joined the support of the Black Stars world cup campaign and also galvanized support for the rest of the African participating teams.
Launching the special initiative dubbed, “The IBG Support the Black Stars and African Campaign”, the Head of Corporate Communications, Kenneth Awuku, explained that the rationale behind this internal campaign initiative was to primarily respond to the call for all to support the Black Stars. He further explained that the support being mobilized amongst staff of the bank was also for all participating African Teams, “after all the World Cup is being hosted for the first time on African soil”, he added. Noted as a praying bank, ‘The IBG Support the Black Stars and Africa Campaign’ encourages all staff and customers of the bank to pray for the African representation at this year’s World Cup.
A two-week special prayer session during the morning devotion of the bank has been declared for this purpose. Members of staff are therefore encouraged during this period of the world cup to show a great sense of patriotism and nationalism by supporting African teams in the spirit of the African Union.
