Management of IFS Financial Services on Thursday presented a cheque for GH¢ 5000 and books to the Suhum Senior High Technical School in the Eastern Region to support the school’s 50th Anniversary celebration.

The books included 50 motivational books written by Emmanuel Dei-Tumi titled; “Your Talents Creates Wealth and “Success is More Than Luck” with work books and 10 daily desktop quotes.
