A deputy director of communications for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), George Krobea Asante has described as incredible, the industrialization drive by the Akufo-Addo led administration.
According to him, in the 4th Republic, no government has achieved so much in industrialization like the current one- as he argued that under the Akufo-Addo administration, Ghana has seen the most determined push to achieve an industrial economy since President Nkrumah.
He asked that “which other administration has made deliberate effort to industrialize our economy apart from the NPP government?”
“Although Nkrumah did a lot of industrialization, it still looks insufficient and President Akufo-Addo is reducing those deficits. Therefore, President Akufo-Addo in his determination to transform the economy of this country to secure for this country all the benefits of a rich economy, promised this country that he would make another determined effort to industrialize this country, dubbing the promise 1D1F,” he said.
Adding that “This model has been carefully crafted so as to avoid the mistakes of the past, and to ensure success. This model and process are to ensure the factory has a great chance to succeed and to provide jobs, contribute to value addition to agriculture produce and generally to the GDP of Ghana, without undue exposure of taxpayers’ funds”.
