The Ghana Free Zones Board (GFZB) has presented a cash donation of ¢10,000.00 to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) to support the celebration of this year’s Farmers Day.



According to the Head, Investor Support Services of Ghana Free Zones Board, Hajia Abubakar Hanatu, the move forms part of efforts to promote agriculture in order to ensure food security in the country.

It is equally in line with the company’s corporate social responsibility to reach out to farmers whose immense contribution has added value and growth to the company as well as meaning to the life of all Ghanaians.

Speaking in an interview, Hajia Abubakar Hanatu said: “We thought it wise to come and contribute our widow smite to this important event to help the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture to make the 32nd farmers day celebration a success”.  

 “By so doing the Ministry will be able to encourage farmers to produce more to ensure food security as well as develop Ghana sustainably in the long-term”.

 Hajia Hanatu  pledges the  board’s  support towards  the farmers and fishermen in the country  in the near future to make them happy “simply because they will be happy to know that their contributions  have made it  possible  for  us  to  exist and therefore  they  are part of  our success”.

The donation was handed to the sector Minister, Alhaji Mohammed-Muniru Limuna on behalf of the Ministry and the National Farmers’ Day Planning Committee at short ceremony held at the forecourt of the MOFA on Wednesday October, 12, 2016.

Also present at the ceremony were Deputy Minister, Crops and Chairman of the Planning Committee, Dr. Yakubu Ahmed Alhassan, Benjamin Gyasi, Director of Finance and Administration and Ing. Joseph Boamah, Chief Director of MOFA.

Alhaji Mohammed-Muniru Limuna receiving the donation expressed gratitude to the Ghana Free Zones Board for the support. He appealed to other corporate organizations in the country to emulate gesture.

Photo of a man with amazingly ‘super head’ causes a stir on social media

Image
Many eyes have seen it but are yet to believe. To those who are convinced that God's creature exits on earth with such a weird shape of head have been left totally flabbergasted and worried too.That is human nature; doubting Thomases everywhere. A man whose photo has been making rounds on social media platforms has been the one in the centre of a huge controversy that rendered onlookers astounded and divided.

The campaign, popularly known as the ‘KTT Project’, focused on addressing issues of kidnapping, teenage pregnancy and drug abuse but equally set about creating a deeper education on human rights to bring about a cultural change. The ‘messiah initiative’ which saw a dedicated team of young volunteers in communities, schools and religious settings within three regions of the country managed to reach over 60,000 Ghanaians over two years sensitizing them on the most pressing and critical and social issues Ghana is facing.   HRRG team of volunteers The HRRG is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which brings together journalists, news editors, human rights activists, advocates, defenders and lawyers to advan
