The Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Sampson Ahi, has praised KEDA Ghana Ceramics Company Limited for its crucial role in advancing the governmentโs 24-hour economy initiative during a working visit to the companyโs manufacturing facility.
As part of efforts to deepen government-private sector collaboration and promote industrial transformation, the Deputy Ministerโs visit aimed to recognize KEDAโs significant investment in local manufacturing and job creation.
Speaking on behalf of the sector Minister, Sampson Ahi commended the company for its commitment to Ghanaโs economic development, describing KEDA Ghana as a โtrue strategic partner.โ
โIf you look at the level of investment here, it tells us that you are here to do real business with the government and the people of Ghana. The employment opportunities youโve created help reduce our reliance on imported tiles, which often come with added costsโ he said
He further encouraged the company to leverage the benefits of the governmentโs 24-hour economy policy, which aims to increase production, enhance competitiveness, and create more job opportunities across the country.
โThe 24-hour economy comes with several advantages. We want companies like yours to enroll and benefit from the packages available. Government alone cannot create all the jobs Ghanaians need, so what you are doing here is hugely complementing our efforts,โ he added.
The Deputy Minister was accompanied by the Ministryโs Chief Director, Noah Tumfo, and other key officials.
KEDA Ghana reaffirmed its alignment with the Ministryโs broader vision of positioning Ghana as a manufacturing and commercial hub in West Africa and expressed its readiness to support inclusive and sustainable development.
The visit concluded with a guided tour of the companyโs state-of-the-art factory to observe the tile production process and explore areas for future collaboration.
KEDA Ghana Ceramics Company Limited remains one of Ghanaโs leading tile manufacturers, contributing significantly to local production, job creation, and import substitution.
