Agriculture will lead Ghana out of poverty – Dr. Afriyie Akoto, NPP flagbearer hopeful claims

 

Dr. Afriyie, the prospective NPP flagbearer, emphasized the importance of Ghana supporting agriculture. 

He believes it to be the most effective strategy for rescuing the nation from suffering and unemployment. 

Dr. Owusu Afriyie stated on March 13 that "I firmly think that emphasizing agriculture is a sure approach for generating the faster growth needed in the other sectors of the economy and creating the necessary jobs for our people. 

This occurred at the University of Professional Studies in Accra, where his presidential candidacy was formally launched.

The former Minister of Food and Agriculture gave a talk on The Future of Ghana Changing Agriculture For The Prosperity For Everyone at the campaign launch. 

According to Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, if the Tree Crop Development Authority he established while serving as a Minister is successfully executed, Ghana might earn up to $12 billion annually.
