According to him, the project is a laudable one, which must be supported by all in the country.

He noted that in view of this, he has moved his luggage to his village at Seikwa in the Brong Ahafo region to help the project achieve its aim of creating jobs.

Asiedu-Nketia made this remark in an interview with Kwame Afrifa Mensah, host of ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ afternoon show on Happy FM in Accra.

He said he had pitched camp in the farm to achieve his dreams of farming in accordance with the planting for food and jobs.

He reminded the Ministry of Food and Agriculture to do well to curtail the activities of the Fall Army Worm in the country.
