President John Dramani Mahama officially opened the Northshore Apparel Hub in Savelugu, located in Ghana's Northern Region. The garment manufacturing facility, wholly owned by Ghanaian entrepreneurs, is expected to generate thousands of jobs, particularly for young people in the area, with potential employment reaching up to 10,000 workers once the factory reaches full production.
The Northshore Apparel Hub will cater to both local and international markets, positioning Ghana as a competitive player in the global apparel industry. This move will also contribute to generating foreign exchange for the country. At the commissioning ceremony, Mahama emphasized the importance of partnerships and investments that focus on productive sectors of the economy, creating sustainable employment opportunities.
The President stressed that Ghana seeks investments, not aid, as his administration looks to collaborate with international partners for growth. He commended the private investors behind the project and the Ghana Export-Import Bank for their support in establishing the factory. Mahama highlighted the financing arrangement as a model of cooperation that could be replicated to accelerate industrialization and economic growth in Ghana.
