KGL Foundation Opens Ultra-Modern School in Adukrom
The KGL Group, through its philanthropic and social impact arm, the KGL Foundation, has commissioned the Gloria Boatema Dadey–Nifa Basic School at Adukrom, a landmark educational facility designed to redefine basic education on the Akuapem Ridge.

“Today is one of the most emotional and meaningful days of my life. This school stands as a tribute to a legacy rooted in education, service, and nation-building. We intend to make this institution a centre of academic excellence — the first of its kind on the Akuapem Ridge — where discipline, faith, and hard work will unlock limitless possibilities for every child who passes through its doors,” he said.
