Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited has presented 50 laptops to some needy but brilliant science students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The donation formed part of the Support One Needy Student with One Laptop (SONSOL) project instituted by the Vice Chancellor of KNUST, Prof Mrs. Rita Akosua Dickson.
Two years ago, the bank made a promise to support the university with 200 laptops over a period of four years.
The 50 laptops were specifically designed to support the teaching and learning of engineering and science related subjects.
