U.S. Pest Control Giant Orkin Enters Local Market

Global pest control specialist, Orkin, has entered the Ghanaian market, hoping to provide solutions to the agriculture sector, businesses, and households. Founded in 1901 by 14-year-old Otto Orkin, Orkin has more than 100 years of experience in pest control services and is a leader in the industry, specializing in protection against common pests including termites, rodents, and insects. In addition to pest control, the company also offers integrated plans to help protect the whole home, including insulation and moisture control services.

Speaking at the company’s launch in Accra, Head of Marketing and Operations, Paa Kow George Hagan, said Orkin is coming to introduce improved standards of pest control in the agriculture sector, which will increase yields of farmers and leads to more healthy production of foods.

He further stated that the company’s presence in the country will move industries to expect and accept international standards of pest control, as enjoyed by their counterparts operating in Europe and the Americas.

ORKIN will not lower its high standards in Ghana, but rather drive the sector to attain the standards we will provide in the country, he said. Mr. Hagan added that the company’s entry into the Ghanaian space will further create sustainable jobs, and also contribute to the fight against the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

Orkin has a national franchise to operate. This means we have the potential to create many jobs throughout the country directly: by way of employing technicians, administrators and drivers. We will therefore create even more indirect jobs, and impact positively on national employment drives to help more families have meaningful livelihoods.

“We are in the middle of a big fight against the deadliest pandemic of our time, called the coronavirus. We are also aware that being healthy at this time is one of the best ways to stay on top of the virus and its rate of infection. Very, central to this fight is pest control, which reduces the onset and incidence of disease: and to constantly fumigate premises with antibacterial agents to lower and slow down bacterial spread which aids the virus. Orkin is actively involved in the global effort to combat it, and we will surely do the same here in Ghana,” he said.

Commenting on Orkin’s entry into Ghana, a representative from the Ministry of Agriculture, Felicia Ansah Amprofi, said the company’s arrival is good news to the agriculture sector, as pest control is one of the sector’s major problems.

“Locally,30 percent of agricultural produce is lost to pests. Pests are therefore a major threat to agricultural productivity, food security. It is very important to control organic pests to provide protection against organisms that can pose health risks to humans and animals. Therefore, we welcome Orkin to Ghana’ she said.

Orkin employs nearly 8,000 team members in more than 400 locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Central America, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Asia, the Mediterranean, Africa, and Australia, serving approximately 1.7 million residential and commercial customers.

Dow Supports Communication Infrastructure Connecting 50,000 People In Eastern Ghana

Dow is supporting an information and communication infrastructure pilot to reach approximately 50,000 people in Nsutem, Eastern Ghana to support improved internet and data communications connectivity. Dow’s support will help to enable the construction of a renewable energy biomass power facility which will generate sustainable incomes for thousands of smallholder farmers locally.

Through its local grantee, the Okyeman Environment Foundation (OEF), Dow has enabled the construction of a WiFi network inclusive of hardware, software and deployment of technology to support two base stations and 18 hot spots to create an information and communication infrastructure pilot covering a collective area of about 15 km radius within surrounding communities of the biomass power facility. The infrastructure allows approximately 50,000 people to connect to a WiFi network permitting affordable data communications and internet access. This Project is a grantee of the Dow Business Impact Fund, which has been identifying and funding new projects around the globe that hold the potential to create significant social impact since 2016.

“Access to modern, cleaner energy is essential to human development. For Ghana, and indeed the world over, affordable energy decreases poverty and improves quality of life, be it for jobs, security, climate change, food production or increasing incomes,” said Adwoa Coleman, Country Manager, Dow Ghana and Africa Sustainability & Advocacy Manager, Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics. “Communication infrastructure is also key for sustainable development. Access to reliable and affordable communication technologies lifts people out of poverty and helps them to overcome the digital divide. Dow’s 2025 sustainability goals aim to engage for impact and deliver breakthrough innovations, which is exactly what this project allows us to do.”

Lack of affordable access to electricity and subsequent lack of telecommunication infrastructure form the crux of the digital divide inhibiting poor rural community members from participating in meaningful socio-economic development in this region. To address this problem in a sustainable way, a 40MW biomass power plant is planned to be constructed in Nsutem, Ghana. The project has been sponsored by Village Corps and a Power Africa grant by the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and has been advanced through the commitment and support of the Government of Ghana, the Akyem Abuakwa Kingdom and the Okyeman Environment Foundation.

The Project will address several UN Sustainable Development Goals, inclusive of #7 and #9 for clean and affordable energy and industry, innovation and infrastructure. The Project will not only drastically increase the access to baseload renewable electricity, but also will help mitigate climate change and assist local community members to adapt to a changing climate, which contributes to the Paris Climate Accord.

With the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructure installed and operational, community members can have affordable data connectivity and will be trained in how to use their phones to benefit from various software solutions to help enable skills development and access to valuable information in areas such as primary education, farming, and healthcare,” said Norman Beaulieu, founder of Village Corps. “WiFi infrastructure can no longer be considered a luxury, it is now an essential resource, and we believe that this project is taking important steps towards delivering this resource to an underserved community.”

Coca-Cola’s Social Intervention Towards COVID-19

COVID-19 has undesirably destabilized economies, rendered many vulnerable, and worst of it all cost the loss of human lives. Given these unfortunate effects of the pandemic, The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Ghana, TCCBCG, in defiance of limited resources, speedily responded to the call of providing support to communities. This support was given in forms ranging from the donation of critical medical supplies, food items & beverages, and a public sensitization campaign about the disease.

We amplified our support to the fight against COVID-19 by donating 10 pesewas from the sale of each 1.5L PET product on the Ghana Market.

From the scale of the significant number of bottles we sell, we are able to make a meaningful contribution to the COVID-19 Fund which has been established by the Private Sector in Ghana.

Our initiative goes a long way to shore up the government’s effort in managing the pandemic which has taken a hit on the economy.

To enhance public sensitization on how to stay safe at all times, our 1.5L PET products bear labels that communicate COVID-19 prevention protocols prescribed by health authorities. This action is to ensure that we provide our consumers with the requisite information each time they grab a bottle of our products. Staying safe is indeed our priority.

 ACCRA, Ghana – ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Ghana (Deepwater) Limited (ExxonMobil), and co-venturers Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and GOIL Offshore Ghana Limited, donated equipment to the Medical Intensive Care Unit of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

The September 23 donation included an arterial blood gas machine, a Seimens Rapid Point 500e, two video laryngoscopes, a McGrath MAC Handle 9X1, and video laryngoscope blades, and 1,000 KN95 face masks.

“ExxonMobil and its co-venturers are happy to play their part by providing this equipment and supplies to benefit Ghanaians,” said Preba Arkaah, public and government affairs manager at ExxonMobil. “We hope that patients in the Medical Intensive Care Unit will greatly benefit from it.”

The donation aligns with ExxonMobil’s commitment to support healthcare, a social investment pillar. The medical supplies were procured following engagements with hospital physicians to better understand patient needs and to support the facility’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“These vital medical items are in demand and for ExxonMobil to secure them for us is a great blessing,” said Dr. Yaw Ofori-Adjei, head of the Medical Intensive Care Unit. “These items will enhance the unit’s delivery of care for the patients we serve.”

Dr. Ofori-Adjei reiterated the importance of healthcare and noted the equipment will contribute immeasurably to the hospital’s efforts to provide quality healthcare to all Ghanaians.

ExxonMobil is the operator of the Deepwater Cape Three Points block offshore Ghana’s western coast; GNPC and GOIL are co-venturers.

Webster University – A Leader in Online Education

A thriving 105-year-old liberal arts college based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Webster University’s mission is to ensure a high quality learning experience that transforms students for global citizenship and individual excellence. Ever since the doors of Webster Ghana were opened in 2013, students from across the world – undergraduate and graduate – have enrolled at the university’s only Africa campus each year to benefit from the cultural diversity and enriching academic environment. Though Webster is not an online university, it has been highlighted for being able to brave the challenges the COVID pandemic has presented to educational institutions.

While some universities continue to struggle to figure out uninterrupted higher education during these peculiar times, Webster University Ghana has not skipped a beat. Smoothly transitioning to virtual teaching and learning in April 2020 at the start of the health pandemic and continuing on through summer classes, Webster Ghana is looking to re-open this Fall (in October), pending government mandate, with a blended/hybrid style of instruction, making use of online technologies to support students and faculty. Webster has long been lauded a leader in online education since the 1990s and stakeholders at the Ghana campus also have the advantage of proprietary virtual platforms like WorldClassroom and a robust library, including close to 70,000 ebooks.

Webster Ghana is dual-accredited by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) of Ghana and the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) in the United States (US), and all students receive a degree issued from the US. The 14-month Master’s programs – an MBA, M.A. in International Relations and M.A. in Human Resources – have further US accreditations. Regardless of specific degree area, Webster students follow the same curriculum worldwide. The lovely Ghana campus – which has dormitory accommodation – is centrally located in Accra’s coveted neighborhood of East Legon. The Fall semester has seen students start classes online with hopes of transitioning back to the classroom by the October term.

“Webster University has been a recognized, global leader in online education since the late 90’s. Given the university’s expertise in online learning, students have a wonderful opportunity to continue their studies virtually, receiving the same quality education they would have experienced in person, thanks to the myriad of online tools, training sessions and platforms available to all Webster students throughout the worldwide network,” says Webster Ghana’s Campus Director, Mrs. Christa Sanders-Bobtoya.

Webster University provides the unique opportunity for students to study abroad during their course of study after their first year. They may elect to do so for a nine-week term, semester or an entire academic year at any of Webster University’s international network of campuses including Switzerland, Austria, the Netherland, US, Thailand, China, Greece, the UK and Uzbekistan. As professors have this same opportunity, students in Ghana learn under top notch global faculty.

On more digital education wins, through the Webster Success Center, this past summer some students were able to secure virtual internships with multinational companies and the school launched the premier edition of its Summer Virtual Learning Program, a 4-week transition and college prep experience for high school seniors.

Admissions is ongoing for both undergraduate and graduate programs – October and January 2021 starts, with plans to start online and transition to campus in the last quarter of the year. Webster University Ghana’s Admissions Office can be reached by phone on 054 012 0849 / 054 012 0869.
