President Nana Akufo-Addo will today, June 29, 2021, commission a Toyota Assembly Plant that has been established in Ghana.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Free Zones enclave in Tema.

This comes on the back of a meeting between the President and the Toyota CEO, Ichiro Kashitani, in August 2019.

At the meeting, the Government of Ghana and Toyota Tsusho Corporation signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the establishment of a Toyota and Suzuki Assembly Plant in Ghana.

It had been projected for August 2020 for the production of the first Ghanaian assembled vehicle but the global pandemic scuttled the projection.
