Bleoo ’77 refurbishes Accra Academy Tower Clock for over Gh₵ 120,000

Mr. Wilson Tei, Board Chairman of Accra Academy, unveiled a plague for a refurbished Tower Clock sponsored by Bleoo ’77 at a ceremony held at the Founders’ Court of Accra Academy on 22nd November 2017. He did the unveiling in the company of Mr. Samuel Ofori-Adjei, the immediate past headmaster, Rev. William Garr, the current headmaster and Mr. Emmanuel Bruce-Attah, President of the Accra Academy Old Boys’ Association (AAOBA).

The Tower clock was refurbished by Bleoo ’77 for over Gh₵ 120,000 as part of festivities marking four decades since their graduation from Accra Academy.  Members of the Bleoo ’77  year group expressed concern that the clock had broken down some time after their departure from the school, although, during their student years it had been of immerse importance not only to students, but, also to inhabitants in the surrounding communities as well. They explained that the clock made them time conscious and enabled them manage their time wisely. In light of this, the year group agreed to reactivate the clock in an effort to enable the current generation of students experience the benefits of the clock which they had experienced.

Mr. Richard Badger, a Mechanical Engineer at Volta River Authority (VRA) and a member of Bleoo ‘77, presented the new clock to the school and assured the school that a service agreement had been established with the installers of the clock to keep it operational.  He, therefore, urged the students to study diligently and utilize the clock in their studies as it would help schedule their daily activities.
