He stated that this group of 506 individuals, all possessing advanced degrees in agriculture, underwent comprehensive training at the Ghana Police Training School to serve as Feed Ghana Brigadiers. Their primary roles include providing agricultural extension services and promoting discipline within the agricultural sector, thereby ensuring the effective implementation of the Feed Ghana Program and fostering positive outcomes in the agricultural domain.
Hon Gordon Asubonteng announced the official employment of 506 Brigadiers within the Agricultural Sector.
