The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Asutifi North, Hafiz Dauda, has urged Ghanaians to support the government’s “Nkoko Nkitinkiti” programme, aimed at revitalizing poultry farming in the country.
Speaking at Donkokrom during the distribution of 10,000 birds to local farmers under the initiative, the DCE told ADOM NEWS that the programme is critical to revamping poultry farming, which is facing severe challenges due to high levels of imported chicken.
“This initiative will not only strengthen poultry farming but also create jobs for our youth and provide wholesome chicken for our people,” Hafiz Dauda said. He added that the district assembly has put strategies in place to monitor all beneficiaries and ensure value for money.
Meanwhile, the Director of Agriculture for Asutifi North, Paul Boakye, advised beneficiaries to follow directives from agricultural officers to ensure the sustainability of the programme.
He assured that his office will continue to monitor and support farmers under the initiative, which he described as laudable and a step in the right direction to revive the collapsed poultry sector in the area.
