KGL Group, the licensee of KGL Technology Limited, has entered into partnership the Ministry of Youth and Sports to raise $25million for sports development in the country.
The move forms part of the company’s corporate social responsibility in terms of efforts at improving its consumer connection and supporting socially relevant causes.

The Board Chairman of the KGL Group, Togbe Francis Nyonyo, is quoted as saying: “KGL’s social accountability goes beyond just giving back to society or charity cases, but encompasses the complete integration of KGL’s business divisions to check impact of our operations across all aspects of society, including economic, social, and environmental.”
He further re-echoed the commitment of his company to the cause of sports development, and urged other stakeholders to join hands in collectively supporting the Youth and Sports Ministry as well as efforts by the GFA to prepare the national team ahead of the tournament.
