Akumsa-Dumase (B/A), Nov 28 (credit Adu Simon) GNA - The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) is assisting about 14 citizens of Akumsa-Dumase in the Nkoranza District who returned from Libya with logistics to enable them to engage in farming.

The Organisation provided the returnees with 13 mini bags of 'Obaatanpa' seed maize and 28 bags of fertilizer during the minor farming season for farming activities.

Mr John Kwasi Kwao, District Disaster Control Officer disclosed this to newsmen during a visit to the returnees to interact with them. He said the government had other plans for the upkeep of the returnees so as to sustain their interest to remain in the country and contribute to the national development.

Mr Kwao commended the returnees for their hard work and efforts to succeed in what they had embarked on and urged them to support the government.

Mr Cosmos Baffoe, one of the returnees, commended the government for the support to encourage them in life and acknowledged the hardships they went though in the journey to Libya.
