History was made in the town of Obeledu in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State as Mr Kenneth Ifeakandu from Okofia village won five hundred thousand Naira for harvesting 95kg yam in the community.
Yam competition was part of the new yam festival for the 2024 edition of Obeledu’s new yam festival.
Ifeakandu said that the half a million Naira prize he won for producing the most heavy yam would be invested in his farm for greater yield next year.
The President General(PG) of Obeledu Progress Union, Engr Ken Echendu said that agricultural show was deliberately built into the new yam festival to encourage people to go into farming.
