He added “we continuously look for ways to support Ghanaians at all times by constantly offering them more choice, great value and content, and also using the power of entertainment and technology to enrich lives at all times”.

According to Mr. Sunkwa-Mills, “this is part of DStv and GOtv’s ongoing efforts to ensure learners of all ages have unfettered access to quality learning material during this period when schools across the country have been closed as a result of the rapidly spreading COVID-19.”
