President Akufo-Addo has said the government of Ghana is ready to throw its support behind any company with the desire to expand its production to offer more jobs to Ghanaians.

According to the President, whether the company is foreign or local, if there is any willingness to spread its production and offer Ghanaians more job opportunities, the government is also ready to offer such a company all the necessary supports.

He said this when cutting sod for the construction of phase IV of the Keda Ceramics factory and the commissioning of phase III of the same project in the Shama District of the Western Region on Friday, September 3, 2021.

According to the President, if a company expands its production, not only will it offer Ghanaians more job opportunities but also increased revenue generation for the government which can help sustain the day-to-day administration of the country.

With the Keda ceramics factory already providing about 5,000 jobs for the catchment area and beyond, the President pointed out that such a feat can best sell the industrial development of the country to the rest of the world.

President Akufo-Addo stated that Keda Ceramics Limited has invested $150m in all three phases which has increased its production capacity to 150,000-meter square daily, exploiting seventy percent of its production to the ECOWAS market – a feat he believes can best sell the industrial development of the country to the rest of the world.
