Youth in Mankranso Convert Football Field into Farm Amidst Government Promise Failure

In a bold demonstration of disappointment and resourcefulness, the youth of Mankranso in the Ahafo Ano-South district have transformed their community football field into a farm. This action comes as a response to the government’s failure to fulfill its commitment to construct an AstroTurf, a project aimed at enhancing sports facilities for local youth.

The government had initially graded the field in preparation for the AstroTurf project, which was anticipated to provide modern sports infrastructure for the community. However, with no visible progress towards completing the facility, the youth decided to take matters into their own hands.

Members of the Concerned Youth of Mankranso voiced their frustration over the prolonged delay and lack of action from the authorities. "We waited patiently for the promised AstroTurf to materialize, hoping it would boost our local sports scene and offer recreational opportunities," one member expressed. "But as time passed without any development, we felt compelled to utilize the land for agriculture instead."

The newly converted farm now hosts crops such as maize, beans, and cassava, symbolizing a shift from waiting indefinitely for promised benefits to actively creating practical opportunities for the community. The decision underscores their disappointment with the government's inaction and highlights their determination to utilize resources effectively.

The AstroTurf project was initially welcomed as a means to not only upgrade local sports infrastructure but also to foster community engagement among the youth. Despite the initial grading of the field, which raised hopes for imminent development, subsequent delays left the community disillusioned.

Local residents and supporters of the youth's initiative have praised their proactive approach to addressing community needs amidst governmental setbacks. The farm serves as a tangible reminder of the community's resilience and resourcefulness in the face of unfulfilled promises.

As the youth continue to manage their agricultural venture on what was once a football field, they hope their actions will prompt authorities to prioritize and fulfill their commitments to local development projects.

For now, Mankranso stands as a testament to the power of community action and adaptation in the face of adversity, as its youth strive to make the most of their resources despite setbacks.
