  "summary": "President John Dramani Mahama recently toured the Afienya Industrial Enclave and Tema's Dignity DTRT Limited to bolster local manufacturing and foster industrial growth. Accompanied by the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the President visited several key companies, including Juidine Corporation Ghana Limited, Huaguang New Energy Battery Ghana Ltd, and Qian Feng Intel Corporation at Afienya. At Tema, they toured Dignity DTRT Limited, a significant player in Ghana's textile and garment industry. During the visit, Mahama announced plans to meet with relevant ministries next week to discuss issues related to the Customs Act, 2026, which has reportedly reduced incentives for businesses in the free zones sector. The President emphasized the importance of hard work and dedication from workers, stressing their crucial role in the growth and expansion of their respective businesses. This visit is part of the government's broader strategy to engage with manufacturers, address challenges, and create a more favorable environment for investment, industrial production, and employment.",
