Gomoa Kyiren (C/R), Aug. 20, GNA - Osabarima Bondam Adu Entsenyi Joshua II, Chief of Gomoa Kyiren, in the Central Region, has successfully mobilised over 30 people in the town to form a Coconut Farmers’ Co-operative Society.
To sustain their interest in the recently launched Coconut Plantation Programme by Government, Osabarima Joshua II has released 30 acres of land and also procured some GH¢3,000 worth of hybrid coconut seedlings for distribution to the registered coconut farmers.
The chief, who is also the Sahene of the Gomoa Ajumako Traditional Area, made this known at a durbar to round off the annual “Ahobakese” festival of the chiefs and people of Gomoa-Kyiren at the weekend.
He was hopeful that inhabitants of the town, who have registered with the association, would be encouraged by the assistance he had offered to intensify their activities to achieve the set goals under the National Coconut Plantation Programme.
Osabarima Joshua II said he intends mobilizing more people to embrace the coconut plantation programme, saying that, coconut farming has become one of the most lucrative economic ventures in the world.
He appealed to government to ensure speedy rehabilitation of the Kyiren--Kwanta, Asempanyin, Ngyiresi, Broto and the Gomoa Sampa roads to facilitate farming and other activities in Gomoa and surrounding areas.
He urged parents and guardians in the town to instill discipline and hard work in their children to enable them to become useful citizens in future.
Mr. B. Nkoom, Gomoa West District Chief Executive, advised people in the community to fully embrace the coconut plantation programme to enhance their finances and improve their living standards.
