The Dufia of Denu, Torgbui Baku IV, has donated 30 full sets of computers, chairs and dust bins to selected schools, institutions and communities in Denu, the municipal capital of the Ketu South Municipality, as part of a broader vision to drive education, sanitation, economic empowerment and peaceful coexistence.
Presenting computer sets to Denu Chicago Jenoir High School, Denu Basic School, and A.M.E. Zion Jenoir High School, Torgbui Baku IV said the donation was aimed at positioning children to compete in a rapidly changing technological world.
He explained that computer literacy is the foundation for understanding modern innovations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), stressing that early exposure would prepare pupils for future opportunities.
“When children learn computing, they are not just learning how to type or use a computer. They are being introduced to the new world of Artificial Intelligence. From computing, they can elevate into AI and future digital skills,” Torgbui Baku IV stated.
He noted that empowering pupils with digital skills at the basic level would ensure that children from Denu are not left behind in the global technological transformation.
As part of the donation, chairs were presented to fishermen at the Denu Landing Beach, under the Association of (CaFGOAG) and (GNCFC ) to support meetings, coordination and peaceful engagement among fisherfolk.
According to the chief, strengthening dialogue structures within the fishing community is critical to maintaining harmony and sustaining the local economy.
To promote environmental cleanliness, dust bins were distributed to several communities and institutions, including Hedzranawo, Afekotuime, Shikakore, Amedenta, Denu Police Station, Three Town Senior High School, St. Anthony Primary School and Hedzranawo No. 1 Basic School.
Torgbui Baku IV stressed that sanitation is closely linked to health, discipline and peace, urging residents to use the facilities responsibly.
Call for Unity and Support for Development
The chief reaffirmed his commitment to physical development, quality education, economic growth and peace among the people of Denu, calling on natives of the town—both home and abroad—to support development initiatives and rally behind his leadership.
“Development cannot be achieved by one person alone. I call on all sons and daughters of Denu to support the growth of our town and uphold peace,” he appealed.
Mr. Prosper Mensah, Headmaster of Denu Chicago Jenoir High School, said the computers would significantly improve ICT teaching and learning.
“This support will expose our pupils to modern technology and prepare them for the future. We are very grateful,” he said.
Mr. Godwin Amemasor, Headmaster of A.M.E Zion Junior High School, also praised the initiative, describing it as a major boost to digital education in the school.
On behalf of the fishing community, Mr. Francis Bedzo, Chairman of the Concerned Net Owners Association (CNOA) and National Organiser of CaFGOAG, commended Torgbui Baku IV for recognizing the importance of fisherfolk in Denu’s development.
“This donation strengthens unity and dialogue among fishermen. It shows the chief’s commitment to peace and progress,” he stated.
