Deputy Minister of Transport and Member of Parliament (MP) for Tema East, Daniel Titus-Glover, has revealed his next line of work after officially ending his political career.
The Tema East Member of Parliament says he will go into farming which he considers to be among the most lucrative jobs any person could venture into.
He, therefore, urged the youth to get involved in farming rather than look upon it with disdain.
“When I quit politics I will venture into farming, it’s very lucrative and I wish the youth will go into it. When I become a farmer, I will have a big farm and ensure that I farm to the benefit of others,” he said on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Monday.
