Mr. Adu-Poku added that UCC, through its Campus Broadcasting Services (ATL FM) since 2016, had been partnering the Council to organise the Fetu Afahye Regatta, which remains one of the key activities heralding the lifting of the ban on fishing in the Fosu lagoon.
He observed that the Regatta was part of efforts to support the local fishing industry and to promote unity among the various Asafo companies in Cape Coast.
On behalf of the University’s Management, Mr. Adu-Poku commended the Council for its invaluable support to the University and wished them fruitful Fetu Afahye celebrations.
