Cocoa sector key to socio-economic advancement – Chief of staff
The Chief of Staff, Mrs Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, has said the development of Ghana’s cocoa sector remains key to the country’s socio-economic advancement, with significant contribution toward the enhancement of livelihoods in cocoa-growing communities.
She was speaking at a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a six-unit school project by Cargill Ghana, a cocoa-processing and licensed-buying company and CARE International Ghana at Adjei Kojo in Tema West Municipality.
The project, which is part of Cargill’s plan to build six schools in five cocoa production districts, and one in Tema West, is a corporate social responsibility initiative.
It comprises three primary schools, two kindergarten blocks, and one junior high school in the Western North Region and Adjei Kojo in Tema West municipality.
Mrs Osei-Opare said the president remains committed to supporting efforts aimed at encouraging growth and investment in the cocoa sector.
The Managing Director of Cargill Ghana Limited, Aedo Van der Weij reiterated Cargill’s commitment to supporting access to quality education.
Ghana’s Deputy Minister of Education, Rev John Ntim Fordjour, described access to education as key priority of the government, as it had invested monumentally in education, directly aligned to the Sustainable Development Goal four of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting life-long learning opportunities for all.
He also commended Cargill for their investment in education.
