Mr. Brew handing over the items to a staff of EMA

As part of the social responsibilities of every working environment in a community, the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) has donated farming items to the Effutu Municipal Assembly (EMA) in support of the 33^rd Farmers Day Celebration.

The items include: 13 pieces of knapsack sprayer, 17 pairs of Willington boot, 90 pieces of cutlass and 5 boxes of fishhook. The presentation of the items took place at the EMA office at Low Cost in Winneba on Wednesday 29^th November, 2017.   

Presenting the items on behalf of the University management, Mr. Augustus Brew of the Institute of Distance and e-Learning (IDeL) said that farmers play enormous role towards the nation’s growth.

“Farmers are worthy of recognition; they feed us with their crops. A nation without a farmer is like a ship without a pilot. Therefore, as the assembly prepares to recognise hard working farmers come Friday, the university community thought it wise to support you with these items.

“Farmers play an important role in the nation’s development so they need not to be underestimated at all. Let’s support them to keep on working hard for the development of Mother Ghana.” He said.     

In his response, a staff of EMA, thanked the management of UEW and promised to ensure that the items would be used for the purpose for which it had been brought.

In the team to present the items were Mrs. Deborah Afful (Aggrey Hall), Mr. Abeiku Hammond (Division of Operations) and Mr. Emmanuel Kutorglo (Division of Publications and Communication).

Friday 1^st December, 2017 will mark the 33^rd Farmers Day Celebration. The Effutu Municipality will mark the day at the Presby School Park in Winneba.
