Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has said the Ashanti Region will become the entrepreneurial paradise of Ghana in the next administration of President John Dramani Mahama.
Mr Debrah, who is in the Ashanti Region on a five-day campaign tour, said the area was in the best position to boost industrialisation and entrepreneurship considering the readiness of the people to explore available opportunities.
Mr Debrah, who was addressing journalists in Kumasi, said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under President Mahama would continue to boost economic activities by supporting the citizenry.
“Industrialisation can thrive in Ashanti again. If you look at the people in the region, they are by nature entrepreneurs; they have the flair for entrepreneurship. If you pick from the timber industry to commerce to construction, you always see that people within the Ashanti Region are good at it. Even if you look at farming, anything they set their minds to do they make sure they do it properly and they become very successful and, so, as a government you are serving the people better if you can lend a hand or give them a push to something that they already have a competitive urge and those are the things that inform our decision to boost entrepreneurship and industrialisation in the Ashanti Region if the president gets a second nod,” he stated.
“Talking about industrialisation, there are segments within industrialisation. There are people interested in small enterprises, others will be interested in medium enterprises, and others in large-scale manufacturing activities. So, our objective and aim cover all these. For example, in China they will say Beijing is the political capital of China. If you pick Shanghai, they will tell you it is the financial capital of China; Guangzhou is the trade hub. Our thinking is that Ashanti should be the entrepreneurial paradise of Ghana in the next administration of President Mahama.”

Nana Peter, if you see change coming you still cannot recognize it like Trump who won before the election began. And Mr. Julius Debrah, I learnt you hail from the Kwahu Area and to my best of knowledge your people are well versed into industry. Why do you wait after 8 years in government to go to a place like the Ashanti Region to lecture them on industrialization. Politics can drive people to A LEVEL PAA OO. Since when did you appreciate what Industrialization meant and had the effrontery to lecture people like the Ashanti's about Industrialization. I wish you go and develop your area and initiate this with the KROBOS. there IS NOTHING GOING ON THERE.
Always saying NPP's are arrogant but yet it wasn the azoka boys who attacked a journalist for doing his job and nii lantey Vanda also attacked Bannerman and even aside tose who attacked Nana's residence but yet people like u call NPP and Nana as violent. Master if u dont know the meaning of violent then go and google to understand and dont just real......lack of common sense. Julius u can make Ahsnti region a second heaven we ashantis will still vote massively against ur party so keep ur words to urself cos we saw what he did with sada and gyeeda
