Leadership (GCFTL), an international organization has
confirmed an Honorary Doctorate on the Managing Director of
the Benntronic Company, a leading Kumasi
based dealers in agro chemicals
and other farming inputs, Mr. Benard Kwasi Dwomo
for his contribution towards the development of agriculture
in the country.
In a citation the Vice President of the
GCFTL, Rev. Dr. Mrs. Comfort Drusilla Adu,
indicated that , Mr. Dwomo among a few Ghanaians have
played a lead role to propel the agricultural sector
which is the main pivot on which the national economy revolves.
She noted that part
from his contribution to sustain agriculture, he has
equally dotted branches of his company in many parts of the
country by which large number of the youth are
making their living.
Speaking to this paper in a post award
interview, Mr. Dwomo explained that the new title confirmed on
him would spur him up to do a lot more ,“ I’m
very elated by the honour done me by this
great institution, the award would definitely be a motivational factor for
me to go step further,” he remarked.
According to him, if the vast number
of the graduate jobless persons could have ventured
into agriculture, the situation of the high rate of
unemployment among them could be reduced if not eradicated
completely.
“The efforts to eliminate
the problem of unemployment among our university
graduates could be a thing of the past if
they go into farming,’’ he said.
He averred that country
could boost her agricultural sector if such graduates
could erase the notion that portrays
farming as the solely reserved job
for the uneducated and rather venture into
it.
“The country stands to benefit significantly
from the agric sector if those graduates would go into Agriculture,” he added.
He believed that the involvement
of graduates in farming would be a good omen for the
country to enhance the process of modernizing agriculture in
the sense that if vast percent of
them were into agriculture it would witness a
tremendous transformation as technology and modern
innovations would be injected into the sector to make
very attractive.
“I wonder why the country is
endowed with vast arable land yet
most graduates are refusing to go into the land ,
the over dependency on the government to create white
collar for them has compounded the situation of unemployment
among them in recent times,” he observed.
Mr. Dwomo called his client
farmers to always read and carefully follow the
instructions on the chemicals they use on their
crops , “as dealers in agro chemicals , my humble
advice to our cherished farmers out there is , they should
always read and carefully follow the instructions on the chemicals
in order to avoid over usage which in turn could
destroy their crops,” he advised.
