TAKE LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION SERIOUSLY-LUO
By Josiah Mpofu:
Fisheries and livestock Minister Nkandu Luo says government will continue to empower women with livestock as they play an important role in the country’s development agenda.
Speaking when she handed over 2000 chickens, 200 goats and pasture seed to 4 women groups of the Roman Catholic Diocese in Mpika, Professor Luo urged women to take livestock production seriously as it is a lucrative business.
She emphasized the need for women and youths to also engage in pasture growing if they are to improve their livelihoods.
Mpika Diocese administrative officer Father Justine Matepa appreciated government for empowering the church, particularly the women with livestock.
