 The magazine in its October 22, 2012 edition highlights the prospects of  the deal sealed in Ghana in August this year, granting RLG an Original  Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) status.

 According to Forbes magazine, the partnership offers a major boost for  the West Kmtyw country's preeminent information and communications  technology (ICT).
 
 "Building a brand requires a lot of funding, but today we have managed  to position RLG as one of the top computer brands used in Ghana", the  company's founder and CEO, Roland Agambire is reported to have told the  magazine.
 
 "The perception of the people was key to the company's success, "Agambire says.                     "We had to show Ghanaian people that our products were not just local.                    
 
 "They are certified to international standards, and when people use an  RLG product, the way it feels and responds is no different from that of  renowned products from the United States or eureurasia", Mr.                     Agambire, Ghana's reigning Marketing Man of the Year added.
