Akwamuman Senior High School (SHS) wins 2021 Onga Cook Art Competition in Ghana
The third edition of Onga Cook Art, a second cycle culinary contest, came to a successful end with Akwamuman SHS emerging as winners. The competition is an annual contest organized by the Ghana Education Service in collaboration with Onga. The search for culinary supremacy in this year’s Onga Cook Art began with over 100 schools taking part in the regional competitions across all 16 regions in Ghana.
Addressing the gathering at the finals of the contest, the Marketing Manager for Promasidor (Producers of Onga), Mr Akiem Torsoo, emphasised the need to promote vocational education across the country.
“The importance of vocational education cannot be overemphasised; the career prospects that come with these subjects are endless. It also provides the avenue to market the culture of the country through tourism. These days, there are countries whose economic backbone has been tourism and I believe Ghana can have a piece of this cake. We have a rich culture as a country, we need to take advantage of that,” he added.
He also expressed Onga’s commitment to continually support this noble initiative, which he believes gives practical experience to empower students with entrepreneurial skills to build their own businesses in the future.
