In the lead-up to the highly anticipated The Money Summit (TMS) 2024, the Business and Financial Times (B&FT) has paid a courtesy call on leading pan-African financial service provider, Letshego Ghana Savings and Loans PLC.
This meeting served a dual purpose: to solidify their existing partnership and explore new avenues for collaboration and innovation within the financial services sector. Additionally, it provided an opportunity to acknowledge the B&FT’s remarkable achievement of publishing over 4,000 editions, a testament to their 35 years of dedication to high-quality journalism.
Nii Amankra Tetteh, Chief Executive Officer of Letshego Ghana, expressed his admiration for the B&FT’s commitment to excellence, stating: “For over 35 years, the B&FT has consistently delivered high-quality business and financial news to Ghanaians. We are particularly impressed by their resilience, having published over 4,000 editions, even amid industry and economy-wide challenges”.
This significant milestone was achieved on Friday, February 23, 2024, solidifying B&FT’s position as a leading source of business and financial information in the country. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the disruptions faced by the media industry in recent years, including the global pandemic and the ever-evolving digital landscape.
“The B&FT’s ability to adapt and thrive amid these challenges underscores its commitment to serving the Ghanaian public with reliable and insightful information,” the Letshego CEO added.
The B&FT expressed its sincere appreciation for Letshego Ghana’s ongoing support, which plays a vital role in maintaining the publication’s high production standards. Francis Botchway Dadzie, Head of Finance at the B&FT, conveyed his optimism for the future, stating: “We are hopeful that the budding signs of economic recovery will augur well for both institutions as we continue to collaborate and contribute to Ghana’s economic growth”.
This collaboration extends beyond mere financial support. Both institutions hold a shared vision for a thriving Ghanaian economy, and this meeting served as a platform to explore potential avenues for joint initiatives that could benefit both the financial sector and the broader national community.
Also present at the meeting were Poelo Mkpayah, Chief Finance Officer; Sam Donkor, Chief Commercial Officer; and Dennis Nketia, Head of Marketing and Communications – all from Letshego. From B&FT were Rhoda Naa Mensah-Ankrah – Human Resources Manager and Bernard Yaw Ashiadey, Deputy Editor.
