He added that “This partnership will help make President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s vision of ensuring that every child has access to a cocoa beverage a reality.”
The new programme if initiated will be an add-on to the government’s free school feeding programme which has been in operation as part of the Free SHS at the secondary school level at the basic schools nationwide. The quest to provide school children in Ghana with a cup of cocoa drink a day has been on the table for some time now. The support from Niche Confectionery Ghana Limited would go a long way to help the MoE achieve its quest to provide chocolate drinks to learners in school.
