He particularly singled out the Country Director of the World Food Program, Ms Rukia Yacoub for making it possible to have the warehouse in the municipality, adding it would go a long way to improve farming activities.



The Municipal Chief Executive was joined by the deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Elizabeth Agyemang, the WFP Country representatives, the Municipal Coordinating Director, Alhaji Mohammed Adam Wunnam Baba Ramadan, the Municipal Director of Agriculture Mr. O'Brien Nyarko as well as Nananom to commission the facility.
