Official Dedication of The Aquaponics Project in Liberia. Held @ D. Tweh High School, New Kru Town, Bushrod Island, Republic of Liberia

Thanks to H.E President George Mannah Weah, President of Liberia for giving the opportunity to young student Leaders, particularly, comrade Militant Hon. Alvin C. Wesseh to serve his country through the Agricultural sector.

Today was a historic day for the people of New-kru Town, as Hon. Alvin C. Wesseh, representing Minister Mogana Flomo of the Ministry of Agriculture dedicated first of its kind "#an_Aquapoinic_Project_in_Liberia.

At the ceremony, on behalf of the Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Mogana, Hon. Wesseh reassures the government support in eliminating food insecurity by encouraging students, farmers, and  the general public to engage in a more innovative way of farming. 

Hon. Alvin C. Wesseh defines Aquaponics as is a revolutionary system for growing plants by fertilizing them with the waste water from fish in a sustainable closed system. 

He also said it is an amazing productive way to grow organic vegetables, greens, herbs, and fruits, while providing the added benefits of fresh fish as a safe, healthy source of protein. 

On a larger scale, it is a key solution to mitigating food insecurity, climate change, groundwater pollution, and the impacts of overfishing on our oceans, he said.

Thanks Hon Alvin C. Wesseh for that great speech; we as students of the University of Liberia stand with you!
