The Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang has announced that government will soon deploy 5,000 graduates in agriculture and veterinary science across the country to assist farmers in order to help bridge the gap between research and practice.
She announced this at the 2025 Asogli Yam Festival in the Volta Region on October 4, 2025.
The 2025 Asogli Yam Festival, also known as Asogli Te Za, was launched on July 14, 2025, and ran until October 5, 2025. This year’s theme is “Together in Honesty and Purpose, We Build a Just, Peaceful and Prosperous Nation,” emphasizing unity, truth, and national development.
A grand durbar was held on October 4, 2025, which marked the climax of the festival. The festival showcased vibrant cultural displays, traditional music, and dance. The festival is aimed to promote unity, peace, and cultural heritage, while also driving tourism and economic development in the Volta Region.
The festival serves as a platform for the Asogli people to come together, give thanks for the yam harvest, and showcase their rich cultural heritage. It also provides opportunities for social cohesion, investment, and tourism development in the region.
The Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, said government is working to reduce post harvest losses.
“Indeed, the Volta Region is showing her potential to be our agricultural backbone under the Feed Ghana Programme. With an irrigation system that is underutilized and ready to be rehabilitated, the region is ideally placed to scale up crop production, especially rice and yam”.
The Agbogbomefia of the Asogli state, Togbe afede XIV urged leaders including chiefs and politicians to show commitment to the development of the country. He says corruption is a bane of the country’s underdevelopment and wants people to embrace honesty for a United Ghana.
