Ghana, President Akufo - Addo stated, has the opportunity to become a regional centre for light manufacturing for a market of some 350 million people
in the ECOWAS
Community, projected to reach 500 million by 2030, «by weaving together our numerous natural resources, like food produce, bauxite, iron ore, oil and gas, with our talents and energy, to turn our nation into an economic powerhouse
in West Africa, generating full employment for our
teeming youth.»
When developed, the sector can positively impact the lives of many Ghanaians,
communities and small enterprises
in our country, providing needed jobs for our
teeming youth.»
