Guinness Ghana has officially commissioned some 16 plots of land at Appolonia City at a ceremony.
This is part of the ongoing ‘Win a Piece of Ghana’ promotion, which was launched earlier this month to give 16 Ghanaians the opportunity to win a piece of Ghana – a plot of land in Appolonia City, Accra.
At the ceremony attended by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Forestry Commission, Director of the Ministry of Lands, Executives of Appolonia city, the Chief and stool of Appolonia, as well as staff of Guinness Ghana Breweries Limited, 61 trees were planted as an additional legacy for the land as part of World Tree Planting Day.
Speaking at the ceremony, Guinness Marketing Manager, Lesego Lebogang Babe, said “We are very proud as a brand that we are able to provide 16 Ghanaians with their own legacy and great independence with this newly commissioned land.
“Being able to own a piece of Ghana is everyone’s dream, and it’s heartwarming to see this come true. One of the best rewards you can give anybody is land and the fact that it’s not just any land but one within a planned city makes it even better,” said Bright Owusu-Amofah CEO Appolonia City.
On her part, Communications and Engagement Manager for GGBL, Rita Rockson, added, “the planting of the 61 trees here today to mark Ghana’s 61 years of Independence is the first step in the transformation of this land. Our hope is that this will inspire our winners to create a beautiful space where they can use the land to fulfil their dreams and build their own legacy.
“We can’t wait to see how the plots develop in the future and how this land changes into a thriving community. We have awarded two winners so far, and there are 14 plots of land left to be won in the ongoing promotion.”
