Vice President Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to building a strong, competitive, and self-sustaining industrial sector.
According to a statement issued by the Office of the Vice President, she made the reaffirmation in her remarks at the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) Awards Night.
Vice President Prof. Opoku-Agyemang commended the businesses recognised at the event, noting that they exemplify the innovation and resilience needed to drive Ghana’s next phase of growth.
She explained that under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, the government is focused on unlocking the full potential of Ghana’s industrialisation agenda.
Highlighting key initiatives, she said policies such as the 24-Hour Economy were designed to encourage industries to operate in shifts around the clock, thereby enhancing productivity, competitiveness, and job creation.
The Vice President also noted that the Feed Ghana Programme is boosting agricultural output to support food security and provide raw materials for local processing.
“We urge our industries to take full advantage of these initiatives, especially as government prioritises value addition. We are creating an environment that opens new opportunities, decentralises operations, and expands capacity for sustainable growth,” she said.
Acknowledging the challenges confronting the industrial sector, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang assured that easing these constraints remains central to the government’s broader industrial strategy.
She affirmed that the government is ready to collaborate with industries to build a resilient and competitive industrial base for Ghana.
The Vice President congratulated all award winners and acknowledged other businesses making steady progress, emphasising that their work is helping to build a nation anchored on industrial strength. “Your contributions matter greatly, and Ghana is counting on you for her development,” she added.
