Prof Naana Jane takes NDC's 24-hour economy policy to Ghana National Association of Poultry Farmers

The running mate of the National Democratic Congress, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, is set to attend a seminar organised by the Ghana National Association of Poultry Farmers at Kumasi on Wednesday, May 15, 2024.

The seminar, which is themed: “Overview of Ghana's Depressing Poultry Industry and its Impact on Future Food Security,” will discuss among other topics the survival and development of the industry to serve its intended purpose.

The poultry industry is an important industry which, when managed well, can significantly impact on the country's economy.

It is important to emphasize that over $200 million is spent annually on poultry importation which obviously has a negative impact on the economy.

It is no surprise that President John Dramani Mahama, in 2014 under his presidency, committed to the development of the poultry industry.

Funds through the Export Development and Investment Fund (EDIF) were disbursed to cushion the industry.

The running mate of the NDC will, as part of her delivery, share with the association the 24-hour policy of the NDC which is intended to bring about the desired change in the poultry industry.

Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang will be joined by the regional executives of the Ashanti Region at the Miklin Hotel for the seminar.

At the end of the seminar, she will visit selected registration centers and markets in the metropolis.
