The Ternopil National Economic University, Ukraine, is set to confer an honorary doctorate degree on Kumasi businessman, Frank Adjei, at a ceremony to be held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi next month.
The decision is in recognition of Mr Adjei’s contribution towards the founding of the Ghana National Chamber of Banker to Banker Lotto Operators and Agents, Lotto and Lotteries Company Limited, and National Association of Private Lotto Operators and Agents in Ghana ventures which have created employment for many in the country. He has employed over 350 lotto agents and 100,000 lotto writers across Ghana.
“Notwithstanding, your loyalty to support the orphanages, schools, deprived communities, villages, fellow businessmen and women, and also giving scholarships to students within and across boundaries has today earned you this honour.
“You are a worthy model magnate, a well-founded philanthropist and a beacon of hope to the Ghanaian and the entire African continent,” are citations crafted by the tertiary institution.
Frank Adjei is a household name in the lotto industry and chairs the National Association of Private Lotto Operators and Agents of which he is founder. He is also into commerce, real estate, hospitality, transport, and entertainment industry.
As a philanthropist, he has touched so many lives with his generosity, providing scholarships for the needy but brilliant students, supporting churches, fellow businessmen, women, orphanages, schools, deprived communities and villages.
He said the honour would encourage him to do even more for society.
The citation has already been presented to him by Dr. Osei Konadu Brown, Pan African Sickle Cell Ambassador. Other prominent personalities would be honoured during next month’s ceremony in Kumasi.
