In a major development for Ghana’s industrial sector, Dr. Awusi has disclosed that President John Mahama is scheduled to officially break ground for the highly anticipated Afienya Industrial Park. The project is expected to be a game-changer for local manufacturing and economic growth in the Greater Accra Region.
Dr. Awusi highlighted that the industrial park, strategically located in Afienya, will provide modern infrastructure for businesses, create jobs, and attract both local and foreign investment. “This initiative is part of our broader vision to industrialize Ghana, promote entrepreneurship, and stimulate economic development,” he stated.
The Afienya Industrial Park is expected to host multiple manufacturing facilities, logistics centers, and support services, offering companies a conducive environment to expand operations. Officials say the park will particularly focus on boosting sectors such as agro-processing, textiles, and light manufacturing.
Government sources describe the project as a critical step toward decentralizing industrial development, creating employment opportunities for youth, and reducing regional disparities in economic activity. Once completed, the Afienya Industrial Park is projected to become a hub for innovation and production in the region.
Dr. Awusi also revealed that President Mahama’s groundbreaking ceremony will mark the formal commencement of construction, signaling the government’s commitment to transforming the industrial landscape. Communities around Afienya are reportedly optimistic about the economic benefits the project promises, including increased business activities and improved livelihoods.
The announcement has already generated excitement among investors and industry stakeholders, who see the initiative as a catalyst for Ghana’s broader economic ambitions. With the President’s involvement, the Afienya Industrial Park is poised to become a flagship model for modern industrial development in the country.
