The Accra Academy 1980 Year Group, popularly known as Bleoo ’80, has presented assorted drugs with an undisclosed amount of money to their alma mater to mark the forty-fifth year of their admission into the school.

At a short ceremony on campus, Mr.Robert Kofigah, President of the Group, said the donation was inspired by the group’s desire to promote the well-being of students and staff.

“Today marks exactly 45 years since we entered this great school, and we are grateful for everything Accra Academy has made us. We believe this is the time to give back in a meaningful way,” he added.

He emphasised the importance of good health to academic excellence, indicating that a healthy mind could only be found in a healthy body, for which reason they found it expedient to equip the school with these medications.

Mr. Kofigah said the gesture was their way of ensuring that students could focus on their studies without unnecessary health worries.

He also highlighted the consistent role Bleoo ’80 had played in supporting the school, citing their contribution to major projects including the construction of the Northgate.

“Our year group has always been among the torchbearers of the old boys. The Northgate project is just one of the many ways we have shown our loyalty to. I want to assure the school that Bleoo ’80 will continue to contribute and offer services to strengthen the Accra Academy brand,” he stressed.

Mr. Kofi Yesu, Assistant Headmaster, Administration, receiving the items on behalf of the school, expressed profound appreciation to the year group.

“We are so grateful that after 45 years, Bleoo ’80 has remembered their alma mater in such a remarkable way. This donation will go a long way to support the health needs of our students and staff,” he said.

He further lauded the year group’s dedication to the school’s growth and urged current students to learn from their example.

Mr. Yesu said the students of today must emulate this spirit of loyalty and service, such that what was witnessed was proof that Accra Academy does not just shape academic minds, but nurtures lifelong bonds of commitment.

“The donation is not only a reflection of gratitude but also a call to action for other year groups to continue supporting Accra Academy in diverse ways,” he added.
