More
than five thousand cocoa farmers in Sefwi-Bodi in the Western Region
have received 50,000 bags of free fertilizers from the government to
increase their yields.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for
Sefwi-Bodi, Mr. Sampson Ahi, made this known during the inauguration of a
new Community Information Centre at Sefwi-Bodi to enhance
communications in the area.
He said they were expecting
additional 20,000 fertilizers, and assured the farmers that government
was committed to the cause of improving cocoa production in the coming
season.
Mr. Ahi, who is also the deputy minister for Water
Resources, Works and Housing, expressed his profound gratitude to the
government for siting the Information Centre in the area, and charged
the people to take proper care of the facility.
He commended
government for initiating many development projects in the district, and
expressed optimism that more of such projects would follow suit when
the electorate renewed the mandate of the ruling National Democratic
Congress in next year’s general elections.
Mr. Solomon Fuachie,
District Chief Executive for the area, disclosed that candidates from
the district who took part in last year’s Basic Education Certificate
Examinations recorded 90 percent passes, and expressed the hope that the
Centre would enhance the performances of students in subsequent
examinations.
He commended government for initiating a number of
development projects in the area, including classroom blocks, expansion
of electricity to other communities, community-based health planning
services (CHPS) compounds, police posts and many other social
interventions.
Nana Kweku Nkuah the second, Chief of Afere,
expressed his appreciation to the government for constructing the
Centre, and pledged to ensure its proper maintenance for the benefit of
the future generation |
