Tour Operations Manager at Royal Cosy Hills (Jirapa Dubai) in the Upper West Region Abdul-Aziz Pelpuo and a 2018 alumnus of the Institute of Business Management and Journalism (IBM&J), Tamale Learning Centre, has donated 20 bags of cement to his former school to support the construction of a new building. He also pledged to run a six-month free advertisement campaign for the school on two radio stations in the Upper West Region to boost enrollment. Additionally, Mr. Pelpuo committed to providing further support as needed to ensure the project’s completion.
IBM&J is a private tertiary institution accredited by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) committed to providing high-quality education in various fields. The school offered academic programs such as a Diploma in Journalism and Media Studies and HND in Communication.
Established in the North in 2014, IBM&J has graduated hundreds of students who have become industry professionals. The school has recently established a new learning center at Yendi receiving positive feedback indicating promising prospects.
Speaking in an interview with Hawknewsgh, Mr. Pelpuo explained that his gesture was motivated by the love, impact, and opportunities the school provided him.
“To me, the IBM&J Tamale Learning Centre is like the stone that the builders rejected but has become the chief cornerstone; without it, there is no foundation. I, alongside several colleagues, have experienced the system firsthand and benefitted immensely. We’ve been through hard times and difficult moments, yet we received enormous support and encouragement from the Director and school authorities” he said.
The former student also noted that the system’s flexibility during his school days was remarkable.
“Many of us were able to work while attending school, and the school allowed for flexible fee payment, even extending to post-national service when some couldn’t pay their fees. The school accommodated this because they are committed to providing accessible and flexible education for every child,” he stated.
Mr. Pelpuo urged all alumni to support their alma mater as a way of giving back.
“Attending IBM&J gave me a decent job, allowing me to take care of my family. As an alumnus and a product of the school, I felt compelled to give back for the opportunity to complete my education, graduate, and find employment. I’m proud of my school and will always contribute to its success,” he said.
Mr. Pelpuo thanked the school’s management for their continuous support and the positive impact they have had on many young people in the North. He also extended his appreciation to the management for establishing more learning centers in the region, demonstrating their commitment to making education accessible to everyone, regardless of their location.
He encouraged students in the northern parts of the country to consider IBM&J as the best media institute, highlighting its flexible fee payment system that ensures comfort and accessibility for all.
