The President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, has stated that Senior High Schools (SHSs) across the country will soon establish their own poultry and livestock farms as part of a new government policy.
According to him, the new policy is aimed at helping SHSs become self-sufficient by producing their own meat rather than depending on market purchases.
He made this known in his address at the 65th anniversary celebration of his alma mater, Ghana Senior High School (Ghanasco) in Tamale over the weekend.
The Ghanaian President said “We are coming up with a policy, a policy where secondary schools will have a poultry farm and a livestock farm, so Ghanasco will be one of the schools selected.”
He added that “We will establish a poultry farm here and a livestock farm so that you don’t have to go to the market to buy your meat. You take your meat from your own farm. And again, the headmaster will have no excuse when you go to dining hall and there’s no meat in your food.”
