The President of the All Nations University, Reverend Dr Samuel Donkor, has expressed concern over Ghana's continued reliance on food imports despite its abundance of fertile land. "Why should we be importing food when we sit on arable lands?
We should be feeding the rest of the world," Reverend Dr Donkor asked.
Speaking during the university's matriculation ceremony on Saturday in Koforidua, he emphasised the urgent need to rethink national priorities on agriculture.
He said "it is a shame that we import food from China and Dubai because we are not taking agriculture seriously." In a move to address this issue, he announced plans to introduce a new university programme in food technology and agribusiness.
