The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has indicated to investors that Ghana is open for business, assuring of the creation of a conducive business environment which will ensure that businesses flourish, thereby creating prosperity for the Ghanaian people.
The President made this known on Friday, February 10, 2017,when the Chairman of the Al Serkal Group, Mr. Eisa Bin Nasser Alserkal, together with a delegation of investors from the United Arab Emirates, paid a courtesy call on him at the presidency.
In the presence of the Minister for Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen, President Akufo-Addo noted that the topmost priority of his government is to create jobs for the people of Ghana, and, thereby return the country onto the path of progress and prosperity.
The President told the delegation that the industrialization of the economy, with the aim of moving the country away from being dependent on raw material exports to an economy of value-added activities, and the revival of Ghanaian agriculture will be his main focus.
It is for this reason, the President indicated, that his government is determined to partner with investors and the private sector to set up strategic industries, with the aim of helping create jobs for the youth.
These strategic industries, he revealed, include an iron and steel industry, which will exploit Ghana’s iron ore deposits at OpponManso and Sheini, near Tamale, and facilitate the manufacture of machine parts and equipment.
Additionally, President Akufo-Addo indicated that his government, in partnership with the private sector, aims to establish an integrated aluminium industry, which will exploit the country’s bauxite deposits at Kyebi and Nyinahin; and also petrochemical industries from our oil and gas deposits from the Jubilee, TEN and Sankofa fields.
On his part, Mr. Eisa Bin Nasser Alserkal, told President Akufo-Addo that the decision to invest in Ghana stemmed from his company’s belief that Ghana offered the right opportunities for investors in Africa, and they, in turn, will help develop the country.
Al Serkal is a business conglomerate based in Dubai, with a bouquet of companies in the fields of healthcare, manufacturing, petrochemicals, commercial and residential real estate, banking, mobile telephony and construction services.

The shortest man in the world is your president. Go jump into the sea, DUMMY!
HE IS SHORT AND INTELLIGENT UNLIKE YOUR FATHER,WHOSE FULLOOOISHNESS CAN BE SEEN FROM A MILE AWAY.
The first factory in kyebi, wow.
He, without consideration made outrageous promises and now he has to do it at all costs, so if he would even have to take money from drug barons and robbers as well as terrorists to do it he doesn't care. My fear is that our children are not radicalized, because these guys can use money to do anything.
ISIL is coming to Ghana very soon. How do you do business with these terrorists. When JM gave refuge to the GITMO two you were crying foul, today you are ready to do business ooooooooooooo, with them. How do you know whether most of them have been sponsoring terrorism across the world. The British and the Americans, the Canadians and the Chinese are ready to help Ghana, why do you go to the Arabs. I hope that ediot owusu Bempah saying. Someone should speak sense into his head. When the Israelite dined with alien gods they were cursed.
The shortest man on earth.
@ TONY THE BULL, Eve AMERICANS need them for investment,
Tell the Pharmacy Council and the FDA to be business friendly
Nduruwaka! What money from which campaign!? Or you mean JDMs campaign?
Nana Akufo Addo must help local entrepreneurs find new markets. Supporting the private sector this way must top on his agenda.
