The Ghana National Egg Campaign Secretariat (GNECS) has commemorated World Egg Day 2024 in Tema on Friday, October 11 by distributing over 10,000 eggs.
This is part of efforts to promote egg consumption.
The event also marked the inauguration of the Tema Egg Sellers Association as a member of the national body.
In an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, the National Coordinator of GNECS, Comfort Kyerewaa Acheampong encouraged Ghanaians to include eggs in their daily diet.
She cited the health benefits such as improved eyesight and support during pregnancy.
Further activities include visits to Accra Girls Senior High School on Saturday and Pentecost Church in Tema on Sunday, where GNECS will distribute both chicken and quail eggs.
Ms Acheampong also urged local poultry farmers to increase egg production to meet the rising demand.
