Volta Region in line for garment factory after Savelugu project – Eximbank CEO
The Chief Executive Officer of Ghana EXIM Bank, Sylvester Adinam Mensah, says plans are under way to establish a garment and apparel factory in the Volta Region following the commissioning of a similar facility in the Northern Region.
Sylvester Adinam Mensah, Executive Director of Ghana EXIM Bank, announced plans to build a garment factory in the Volta Region following the inauguration of a similar facility in Northern Ghana. At the Volta Economic Forum in Ho, President John Mahama expressed hope that the new factory would generate employment and bolster local production, aligning with his Reset Agenda.
The potential factory site would create jobs across southern Volta, including Keta, Anloga, Denu, Afiadenyigba, Abor, Akatsi, Klikor, Agbozume, Dabala, and Dzodze. The forum, coinciding with the annual yam festival, aimed to transform economic potentials into wealth for the region. The Northshore Apparel Hub in Savelugu, Northern Region, was recently commissioned by President Mahama.
This wholly Ghanaian-owned facility, dubbed the country's first regenerative, zero-waste apparel manufacturing hub, has already provided over 2,300 direct jobs. Funded by Ghana EXIM Bank, German Development Bank KfW, and the Agricultural Development Bank, the Savelugu factory operates 24/7 and produces garments for local and international markets.
