STORY: George Folley Quaye, Wa
THE Upper West Regional Minister, Mr George Hickah Benson, has urged the youth of the region to be encouraged by the national best farmer award won by a citizen of the region, to go into serious agriculture.
He said Alhaji Abdul Salaam Akati’s success story had made the region proud, which the youth could capitalise on to improve upon their living conditions.
“I plead with you to embrace agriculture, since it is very rewarding,” the regional minister stressed.
Mr Benson was speaking at a brief ceremony to welcome Alhaji Akati, who hails from the region, to Wa.
The regional minister said Alhaji Akati had brought honour to the region, since that was the second time the Upper West had produced an overall national best farmer.
He commended Alhaji Akati for his support when the region was hit with disaster last year.
For his part, Alhaji Akati stated that he had come home to express his gratitude to his people, stressing that he would work harder to win more laurels for the region.
