He also presented 50 of the fowls to police personnel at Akyem Oda.
Making the presentation to the widows at a ceremony at Oda, Mr Nyarko said the gesture was part of his annual donation to the beneficiaries at Christmas, as their husbands who were to give them the fowls are dead.
He said he also provided transport fares to the widows who travelled far from Oda to collect the fowls.
Last year, Mr Nyarko donated 600 fowls to 600 widows in the three districts.
He promised to increase the number of birds next year for the benefit of more widows.
Presenting the fowls to the police personnel, Mr Nyarko said he was moved to assist them due to the sacrifices they made to ensure the area was peaceful.
The Oda Municipal Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Issah Mohammed Cantona, who received the fowls on behalf of the personnel, praised Mr Nyarko for the gesture.
