An itinerant male preacher has called for national prayers for the people of Appiatse who have been rendered homeless by an unnatural cause.

He said that what happened at the place “calls for intercessory prayers so that there will be divine intervention to stop the recurrence of such disasters in the country”.

The explosion claimed lives and property(1)

Appiatse, a farming Community near Bogoso in the Western Region was last Thursday rocked by a devastating explosion which claimed lives and properties with many people sustaining various degrees of injury.

The entire community has been flattened by blasts from 10 tonnes of explosives being conveyed by a truck to the Chirano mining site also in the Western Region.

Preaching at the Neoplan Station at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange on Tuesday, the “man of God” said that though the inhabitants needed material support, it behoved also on Ghanaians to give them (victims) the spiritual support as regards the emotional and psychological trauma they were going through at the moment.

“I am pleading with all the religious groups in Ghana to pray for the souls of the people of Appiatse in their trying moment,” he said.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.

He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.

Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.

The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.

The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.

Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.

He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
