Tourism boss Abla Dzifa Gomashie wants Ghana to stop buying chicken from other countries and start raising birds at home instead. She spoke at the big National Poultry Day party Tuesday where hundreds of people gathered. The minister says raising chickens matters for Ghana's culture and helps the nation stand strong. Gomashie thinks the millions spent on foreign chicken could build better farms right here. She wants researchers and business people to team up and fix problems that hurt local chicken farmers.
Deputy farming minister John Setor Dumelo agrees that chicken raising offers great chances for people to make money and help the country grow. He tells Ghanaians that starting with just ten birds at home makes a real difference. The politician believes right here and right there presents the perfect time for anyone to become a poultry farmer. Even small backyard flocks help families eat better and reduce what Ghana buys from abroad. Both ministers pushed hard for more local chicken production during their speeches.
Officials launched a new program called Nkunkor Nkiti Nkiti that encourages families to raise chickens as part of daily life. Workers handed out live birds to people who attended the celebration and several top schools around Accra. Students from Accra Academy, PRESEC Legon and Achimota Senior High School received chickens to start their projects. Cooking contests showed off traditional Ghanaian dishes made with local poultry meat. The event highlighted chicken farming as both cultural tradition and smart economic choice for the future.
