Shelleyco Gas Petroleum supports Farmers Day celebration

Shelleyco Gas Petroleum Limited, a gas retail company with six outlets across the country, has donated items to the Agona West Municipal Assembly in support of this year’s National Farmers Day celebrations. The items worth GH¢1, 600, included five boxes of Keybar soap, 16 knapsack spraying machines, 50 machetes and 16 pairs of wellington boots.

Making the presentation at the forecourt of the municipal assembly, Mr John Jojo Aidoo, Supervisor of Shelleyco Gas at Mandela, Agona Swedru, said the presentation was in response to a request by the assembly for support to reward farmers in the municipality.

He noted that his company recognised the enormous contributions of farmers towards the  growth of the economy.

According to him, his outfit which had been operating in Swedru for some years now, presented the items as part of its corporate social responsibility to the society in which it operated.

The Agona West Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Samuel Oppong, who received the items, thanked the company for the items, and expressed the hope that other corporate bodies in the area would emulate their gesture. He added that government needed private sector support to reward hardworking farmers in the country.
