The government in Ghana is collaborating with the private sector to set up three new garment manufacturing units, generating 27,000 direct jobs under the 24 Hour Economy Policy, Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare recently announced.

She was addressing the second edition of the Kwahu Business Forum in Mpraeso.

She termed the decision as part of President John Dramani Mahama’s rapid industrialisation strategy to boost domestic manufacturing and create employment opportunities.

The facilities will be located in the Central, Bono East and Eastern regions, with each factory expected to operate 24 hours to maximise productivity. Each unit can employ 3,000 workers per shift.

Contracts have already been secured to ensure demand-driven production, Ofosu-Adjare was cited as saying by domestic media outlets.

The government is also finalising key policies for the garment and textiles sector, awaiting approval from the Minister of Finance.
