Mankranso youth turn football field into farm in protest against govt’s delayed AstroTurf project

Youth in Mankranso, Ahafo Ano-South district, have taken matters into their own hands by transforming their community football field into a farm.

This came after the government graded the field for an AstroTurf project that never materialized.

The Concerned Youth of Mankranso decided to utilize the land by planting crops like maize, beans, and cassava.

They expressed disappointment with the government's lack of action, emphasizing that the AstroTurf project was meant to enhance local sports infrastructure, create recreational opportunities, and foster community engagement.

Despite initial preparations, there has been no progress, leaving the community without the promised benefits.
