Kukuom Agricultural Senior High School in the Ahafo Region has announced its readiness to participate in the government’s Nkoko Nkitinkiti poultry initiative, aimed at promoting agricultural education and self-sufficiency in schools.
According to the Headmaster, Mr. Osei Antwi Robert, the school has allocated one acre of land for the project, with preparations already underway to accommodate 1,000 birds under the programme.
Speaking to Adom News, Mr. Antwi explained that the poultry project will serve as a practical training and research centre, enhancing students’ hands-on knowledge in poultry farming.
He added that the initiative will help the school reduce costs on eggs and chicken for student meals, as they will now produce their own. Surplus birds will be sold to the public, with proceeds reinvested into school development projects.
Mr. Antwi further emphasized that the project will lessen the financial burden on the government, as schools like Kukuom Agric SHS become more self-reliant in sourcing poultry products.
