Nhyira FM feeds over 500 Kumasi residents at 2025 fufu party

The forecourt of Nhyira FM in Kumasi was crowded as hundreds of residents and listeners of the radio station trooped in to enjoy their favourite food, fufu.

The 2025 edition of the Nhyira FM fufu party saw patrons lined up with their earthenware bowls to get served for free.

The much-anticipated fufu bazaar attracted guests who appeared hungry for the meal after taking in the aroma of the diverse soup from the various restaurants who participated in the party.

The fufu party dubbed “Tim Tim Tɛm” had caterers specially selected from food joints and chop bars in Kumasi to prepare and serve patrons.

They included Friends Gardens, Betty’s Kitchen, Young Lord Restaurant and Pub, Mavis Pub and Sophia’s Restaurant who are known for their delectable fufu with varieties of local soup.

After the bellies of some of the patrons were filled with fufu, they expressed excitement to Nhyira News.

“If I’m alive I will come and eat fufu here any time Nhyira will organise a fufu party. I ate fufu and aponkye and I enjoyed myself,” said a regular patron.

Another says “the programme was well organised and coordinated and I think it should be repeated every year”.

The programme had a musical attraction which put patrons in a dancing mood.

Event Coordinator, Eric Inkoom, says the target of feeding 500 people was exceeded.

“We gave the five food vendors a target to serve at least a hundred patrons which they did. With the help of security personnel, the crowd was properly managed to avoid chaotic scenes.

“Most of the fufu party events have been on holidays. It’s only this year that we did it on a weekend, but we’re hoping to organise the next edition on a holiday,” he said.

Tasty Tom, Fung Yue Season Powder, Faith Homeopathic Clinic, Medi Moses Prostate, Tonkyi Herbal Center, Officer Bitters and Cowbell were on board as main sponsors.
