The CEO of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), George Abradu-Otoo, has embarked on a week-long working tour across parts of the country to strengthen the company\u2019s operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

Accompanied by company technical personnel, the tour will take him through the Eastern, Ashanti, Bono East, and Bono Regions to acquaint him with NAFCO\u2019s operations on the ground.<\/p>\n

The first stop was Aburi Girls Secondary School, where the team was received by Headmistress Wilhemina Obuobisa Attakorah. Briefing the delegation, she commended NAFCO for ensuring a regular supply of food to the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we speak, we do not have any challenges with food, especially regarding shortages or inadequacy; we have enough to cater for our students,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mr Abradu-Otoo urged the school to maintain good storage practices to preserve the quality and safety of food commodities supplied.<\/p>\n

At Benkum Senior High School in Larteh, Headmaster Enoch Ampofo told the visiting team, \u201cThere is more than enough to feed our students.\u201d <\/p>\n

The school currently has a student population of 3,428. He also highlighted inadequate storage facilities as a challenge.<\/p>\n

Mr Abradu-Otoo advised the schools to take delivery of food commodities in instalments or use nearby NAFCO warehouses as interim storage.<\/p>\n

In Koforidua, the CEO and his team paid a courtesy call on the Regional Minister, Rita Awatey, who lauded NAFCO\u2019s work over the past year.<\/p>\n

\"Buffer<\/figure>\n

\u201cAs the Regional Minister, I have no complaints, because all our schools currently have food in abundance. That attests to your hard work as Buffer Stock CEO,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\"Buffer<\/figure>\n

Mr Abradu-Otoo thanked the Minister for her support, saying, \u201cI have also heard about you and your good works in this Region, and I want to thank you for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The delegation later toured an old warehouse at Kukurantimi, earmarked for rehabilitation under the National Food Reserve Program.<\/p>\n

Mr Abradu-Otoo is accompanied by the company\u2019s Head of Operations, Arnold Akah; Head of Corporate Affairs, Emmanuel J.K. Arthur; and the National Coordinator of the National Food Reserve, Aziz Peregrino Braimah.<\/p>\n

The team has since moved on to the Ashanti Region to continue their assessment of NAFCO\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n
