Mahama to begin a two-day working visit to the Ahafo Region on Friday

President John Dramani Mahama has urged local manufacturers to expand production, create more jobs and explore export opportunities across Africa as part of the government’s 24-hour economy initiative. During an inspection of 3Dreamers Manufacturing, the President emphasized that supporting existing businesses is crucial to increasing production, expanding operations and employing more Ghanaians.

He highlighted the potential for local manufacturers to produce goods with export potential, such as tin tomatoes and light bulbs, and encouraged them to take advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to access consumers across the continent. President Mahama also commended the young people employed at the factory and stressed the importance of hard work, discipline and commitment to business growth.
