In a strong show of support for digital inclusion in higher education, Ghanaian tech and business company Clemshigh Business Solutions Ltd. has donated 10 brand-new laptops to the University of Ghana as part of the university’s ‘One Student, One Laptop’ initiative. The initiative, spearheaded by Vice-Chancellor Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, aims to increase student access to personal learning devices and close the digital divide on campus.
In a remarkable demonstration of local innovation, five of the donated laptops were assembled and customized in Ghana by Clemshigh’s in-house team. Each device is equipped with Intel Core i5 processors, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD storage—making them powerful enough for both academic and research work.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony, Mr. Robert Oracca-Tetteh, Consultant at Clemshigh, said:
“We are here to support the Vice-Chancellor’s digitalisation drive at the University. This is part of our broader mission to contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s tech space.”
Receiving the laptops on behalf of the university, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo expressed gratitude to Clemshigh for their continuous partnership. She lauded the company as a “key partner in advancing the University’s digital agenda”, and praised their commitment to investing in locally manufactured tech solutions and empowering students through digital access.
Also present at the event was Prof. Ernest Tweneboah-Koduah, Vice-Chair of the ‘One Student, One Laptop’ Implementation Committee. He shared updates on the initiative’s progress, noting that nearly 500 laptops have already been distributed to students across multiple disciplines. He further revealed that an additional 200 students will receive laptops before the end of July.
The ‘One Student, One Laptop’ project forms a core part of the University of Ghana’s 2024–2029 Strategic Plan, which prioritizes a transformative student experience and bridging the digital divide in higher education.
