The third cohort of trainees at the National Aquaculture Center and Commercial Farms graduated yesterday at Amrahia in the Adenta Municipality of the Gt. Accra Region.
The centre forms part of government effort to promote aquaculture as a viable economic enterprise through the provision of appropriate skills training to the youth using cutting-edge technologies.
Speaking at the ceremony, Hon. Mavis Hawa Koomson in a speech read on her behalf by the Technical Advisor, Mr. Samuel Quartey said the Ministry has revised the entry requirement for admission to the center which is a diploma in any field from an accredited institution.
