Ghana’s leading import and supplier of fertilisers, BH-Ferta­gro has donated fertiliser and other items to the Nsawam Prison.

The donation worth GHȻ70, 000 included over 150 bags of NPK fertilisers for their current 47-acre land project, toilet­ries for staff, over 600 bags of sachet water and 25 boxes of soap.

Receiving the items on behalf of the Nsawam prisons, the Assistant Director of Pris­ons, Mr Andrews Osei, thanked the company for the kind ges­ture, stating that the facility really needed support espe­cially in the area of agriculture to support the government in feeding.

He also mentioned that the donation had come in time es­pecially with the current farm­ing project they were about to embark on, adding that the gesture would also encourage others to come to their aid.

The Managing Director of the fertiliser company, Mr Robert Ayittey, who presented the items expressed the joy of the company in doing such, owing to the good work the prison service was doing for the country.

He added that the gesture was part of the Corporate Social Respon­sibility of BH-Fertago hence support­ing the Ghana prisons to improve upon their agriculture activities.

The General Manager of the company, Mr Alex Kwame Donyinah, also emphasised the company’s commitment in giv­ing back to society.

He stated that the company was quite impressed with the work of Ghana Prisons towards human development despite challenges the facility was fac­ing in feeding the inmates.

“We are hopeful that the fertiliser will help them in­crease their yield, expand their cultivation in order to have enough food to feed the in­mates and alleviate the feeding challenges,” he added.

Last year during the Ako­sombo spillage, the fertilizer company presented over GHȻ 100,000 worth of relief items to the people of Mepe, Battor, Sogakope and its environs.
