The Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Sampson Ahi, has praised KEDA Ghana Ceramics Company Limited for its crucial role in advancing the government’s 24-hour economy initiative during a working visit to the company’s manufacturing facility.
As part of efforts to deepen government-private sector collaboration and promote industrial transformation, the Deputy Minister’s visit aimed to recognize KEDA’s significant investment in local manufacturing and job creation.
Speaking on behalf of the sector Minister, Sampson Ahi commended the company for its commitment to Ghana’s economic development, describing KEDA Ghana as a “true strategic partner.”
“If 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 you’ve created help reduce our reliance on imported tiles, which often come with added costs” he said
He further encouraged the company to leverage the benefits of the government’s 24-hour economy policy, which aims to increase production, enhance competitiveness, and create more job opportunities across the country.
“The 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,” he added.
The Deputy Minister was accompanied by the Ministry’s Chief Director, Noah Tumfo, and other key officials.
KEDA Ghana reaffirmed its alignment with the Ministry’s 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 company’s 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 Ghana’s leading tile manufacturers, contributing significantly to local production, job creation, and import substitution.
