Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Mrs Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has inspected land for a textile and garment factory in Cape Coast. The initiative aims to generate jobs and alleviate unemployment in the Central Region. A 24-hour market will accompany the factory, further bolstering local economic activity. President John Dramani Mahama pledged to establish such factories in three regions last year, with the others located in Eastern and Bono East.
The chosen site near Ekon Junction was deemed convenient due to its accessibility and proximity to essential services. Local chiefs and residents expressed their backing for the project. Upon completion, the factory is anticipated to create employment and help reduce unemployment. Government projects involve multiple stages, including procurement and feasibility studies, to guarantee successful execution.
The Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly (CCMA) pledged to collaborate with stakeholders to ensure project success.
