President Akufo-Addo has insisted that his government have fulfilled its one district, one factory policy with 232 projects at various stages of implementation.
Addressing the Eighth Parliament in his first state-of-the-nation address on Tuesday, March 9, the president said his government will continue the agenda of rapid industrialisation “with the aim of transforming the structure of the Ghanaian economy from one dependent on production/export of raw materials to a value-added industrialised economy”.
According to him, the policy has seen 76 firms operating as 1D1F companies while 112 including five medium-sized agro-processing factories and 63 common user facilities are under construction.
“Open your eyes [and] you will see them,” he jabbed the Minority Caucus, whose members jeered him at the mention of the programme in his address.
