The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Nkwanta South Municipality in the Oti Region, Hon. Bright Lenwah, has called upon the youth in the region to embrace agriculture as a means of securing sustainable livelihoods. Recognizing the untapped potential of the agricultural sector, the MCE highlighted the numerous opportunities available and urged young individuals to consider farming as a viable career choice.

Speaking During the Green Ghana Day observation, which focused on promoting environmental sustainability and tree planting, Hon. Bright Lenwah emphasized the need for a paradigm shift in how agriculture is perceived. He stressed that viewing farming as a business rather than a traditional occupation is crucial for the economic empowerment of the youth and the overall development of Nkwanta South.

Highlighting the immense potential for growth within the agricultural sector, the MCE urged young people to explore modern farming techniques, adopt innovative approaches, and leverage technological advancements to enhance productivity and profitability. He emphasized the importance of value addition and encouraged the youth to explore agribusiness ventures that can maximize the value of their agricultural produce.

Hon. Bright Lenwah further underlined the significance of training and capacity-building programs to equip the youth with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in agriculture. He pledged the support of the Municipal Assembly in providing training opportunities, access to finance, and technical assistance to young individuals interested in pursuing agricultural ventures.

The Municipal Chief Executive’s call to action comes at a time when youth unemployment remains a pressing issue in the region. By embracing agriculture, the youth can not only secure their own livelihoods but also contribute to food security, economic growth, and job creation in Nkwanta South.

Hon. Bright  Lenwah also emphasized the need for sustainable farming practices and environmental stewardship. He encouraged the youth to adopt eco-friendly techniques, promote biodiversity conservation, and participate in initiatives such as tree planting and land restoration to ensure the long-term sustainability of the agricultural sector.

As Nkwanta South strives for inclusive and sustainable development, the MCE’s message serves as a rallying cry for young individuals to harness the potential of agriculture. By embracing farming as a business and investing their skills and efforts in the sector, the youth can pave the way for a prosperous and resilient future.

In conclusion, the Nkwanta South MCE urges the youth to view agriculture as a pathway to sustainable livelihoods, emphasizing its economic potential, the importance of innovation, and the need for environmental stewardship. With the support of the Municipal Assembly and a collective effort from the youth, agriculture can become a driving force for inclusive development and prosperity in Nkwanta South.
