She emphasized her intention to equip the youth with employable skills and facilitate business opportunities or employment in the area.
Speaking to a cross section of the media after the program, the parliamentary candidate for Atiwa West Constituency, Lawyer Abena Korko Asante, established that Ghana’s fisheries sector is indeed a vital component of the country’s socio-economic development, which can contribute significantly to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), accounting for about 4.5%.

Each of the beneficiaries received comprehensive equipment that includes waterproof tanks for fish storage and transportation, a set of pillars and pipes for fish farming infrastructure, as well as holes and nets for fishing and aquaculture practices. There were other essential tools and accessories to support their fishing and aquaculture endeavors.
