The Chief of Defence Staff of the Ghana Armed Forces, Lt. General J.B. Danquah, has advised the youth to pursue agriculture because it is a rewarding enterprise. He therefore, urged school authorities not to use weeding as a form of punishment because it is a major component in agricultural business. Lt. Gen. Danquah called for measures to be put in place to make agriculture more attractive for the youth to venture into rather than training ~hem to depend on ''white collar" jobs alone, which could not move the national economy forward. Addressing the 50th anniversary celebration of the Pope John Senior High School and Junior Seminary, the CDS stressed the need for senior high schools to promote interest in "agricultural business in the students. Lt. Gen. Danquah mentioned the 2007 best national farmer, who is a medical doctor, as an example, that agriculture was a rewarding enterprise. He told the students that the future survival in the labour market depends largely on skills. The CDS told the students that many brains had been nurtured by the school and they owed it a duty to the school to excel in their professional endeavours in future as the pioneers had done in the service of the nation. He praised the founders of Pope John School, whose wisdom led to the establishment of the school that had nurtured many young men including himself into responsible adults to contribute their quota to the national development. On behalf of the old boys of the school in the Ghana Armed Forces, Lt. Gen. Danquah donated a citation and a bouquet to the school to serve as a reminder for hard work and commitment to the current crop of students. Source: GNA
