The Ahafo Regional Minister, Mr George Boakye, has said the Integrated Recycling and Composting Plant (IRECOP) being constructed in the region by Zoomlion Ghana Limited (ZGL) will provide enough fertiliser for the region.
He said the siting of the project in the region, being a food basket of the country, would make it a hub of fertiliser production and by extension massive food production.
The regional minister made the statement last Friday at Goaso in the Ahafo Region when the Parliamentary Select Committees on Local Government, Science, Environment and Technology, Finance and Works and Housing, who were on a working visit to inspect works on the IRECOP project, paid a courtesy call on him at the Regional Co-ordinating Council (RCC).

I first met Cheryl in the mid 1980s when she interviewed me to be a member of the Bow Group, back in the days when it was highly respected. They didn t accept any old rif-raff! Then after she was elected we met occasionally, but it was in 2005 that our friendship blossomed.
