I’ve been a farmer for years, and that paid my university fees – Asiedu Nketia

National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, affectionately known as General Mosquito, has urged Ghanaians, especially the youth, to take farming seriously, describing it as a highly rewarding venture.

Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show with host Kwami Sefa Kayi, Mr. Nketia shared his personal success story in agriculture, noting that proceeds from his farming activities funded his university education.

“I’ve been a farmer for years — cashew, pig farming, and recently mango,” he revealed. “It was through the income from farming that I paid my university fees.”

Mr. Nketia encouraged the public not to look down on agriculture, highlighting its potential to create wealth and provide sustainable livelihoods.
