First Allied releases ‘pure water’ seller’s GHC 5K after Atinka FM exposé

 

The Abossey Okai branch of the First Allied Savings and Loans Company has finally released the GHC5,000 savings to one of its clients following Atinka FM exposé.

The distressed financial firm had refused to pay a 22-year old “pure-water” and buff loaf seller, Grace Frimpong, her 2 years’ Susu savings to enable her to pay for her school fees.

The pure water seller said she had gained admission to study a 3-year Registered Community Nursing programme at the Nursing and Midwifery Training College Korle-Bu, and had only up to Wednesday 15th of August to fully pay her admission or forfeit her chance of entering into school this year.

She claimed that after several deliberations with authorities at the Savings and Loans Company, she was given only GHC 2,000 and was told to secure a loan to settle her fees till the bank solves its current challenges.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the First Allied Savings and Loans Company, Jones Owusu conceded that the company was experiencing a financial shortfall which has caused a number of their customers’ savings to be “locked-up”.

However, after a relentless campaign by Atinka Media Village, (Atinka FM, Atinkaonline) management of the company on Wednesday released the remaining GHC3,000 to Grace Frimpong to enable her to pursue her Nursing and midwifery programme.

Atinka FM’s senior reporter, Rosina Akua Antwiwaa, was present at the Abbosey branch when the money was released to the worried pure water seller.

The branch manager declined to make further comments on the matter.

Grace Frimpong thanked Atinka Media Village for helping her to claim her money to enable her to pursue her education.
