Akuapem North Assembly makes land available for Youth in Agriculture

November 12, 2009
The project aims at creating employment and means of livelihood for over 500 youth in the Akuapem area.

The District Coordinator of the NYEP, Mr. Isaac Livingstone Asamoah, made this known to the GNA after conducting the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr. George Opare Addo, around the land sites to ascertain preparations for the programme.

According to Mr. Asamoah, the assembly would be helping in the sale of the produce of which 40 percent of the profit would be paid into the assembly's coffers to serve as a revolving fund for starters.

Mr. Opare Addo on his part assured the youth that all the necessary support would be given them and urged them to embrace the programme.

Mr. Opare Addo disclosed that the Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, was in the process of finding permanent and reliable markets and strategies for the sale of the produce.
