Ninety farmers from Kwania north have received training in Kuroiler chicken farming. These farmers, selected from Aduku town council, Aduku subcounty, Inomo subcounty, Akali subcounty, and Inomo town council, were trained and provided with 2,862 Kuroiler chickens worth 7.5 million shillings to raise.

The training took place on June 10, 2024, in Akoremor, Banya parish, Inomo subcounty, with support from Kwania north MP, Bob Okae, and the district woman MP, Kenny Auma Lapat. Bob Okae encouraged the benefiting farmers to use the chickens to combat household poverty.

Tony Blair Mwanga, the councillor of Banya, urged the government to support locals with chicken and goat projects to enhance their livelihoods. Boniface Ojuka Etime, the lands officer of Akokoro town council who trained the farmers, stated that they have been empowered to raise all breeds of chicken.

Bernard Odur, a resident of Teioro-Abongomola, Pasqueli Ekwera of Inomo, Betty Ojungu of Aboko, and Alfred Obaa of Apire expressed their intention to apply the knowledge gained in the training to raise chickens and sustain their livelihoods.
