A-Plus, a politician and singer from Ghana, has defended the president’s recent speech, which some have criticised as nothing more than a lament. According to him, the president’s comments were just restating what the previous administration and Ghanaians had already said.
“The president could only join in on what everybody was saying,” A-Plus stated, pointing out that the previous government’s dismal electoral result was brought about in part by the discontent among Ghanaians.
The Nkoko Kitikiti project and the 24-hour economy were two major points of the president’s speech that A-Plus highlighted. Nkoko Kitikiti’s potential influence was noted by A-Plus, while others questioned how these programs would generate jobs.
“The president announced that 55,000 homes will benefit from Nkoko Kitikiti,” according to A-Plus. Despite a yearly demand of 400,000 metric tonnes, Ghana imports over $300 million worth of poultry. Our annual production is only about 57,000 metric tonnes, whereas imports make up about 270,000 metric tonnes.
He went into detail about the scheme that will have 100 regions raise 500 birds for 5,000 households. By enabling these houses to rear a total of 27,000 birds per cycle, this effort seeks to decrease Ghana’s dependence on imports.
“If implemented effectively, this initiative will reduce our dependency on imports, strengthen food security, create job opportunities, and encourage youth participation in agriculture,” said A-Plus.
