“We will designate Amasaman to Suhum as an industrial zone” – Mahama

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate for 2024, John Mahama, claims that as part of his 24-hour economy strategy, the next government he leads would shift industries to Amasaman, outside of Accra, to hasten regional growth.

The former president declared during a rally in the Amasaman area that it was past time for industries to look for other locations and relocate from Tema, the epicenter of industry.

He clarified that this would increase employment in the communities where the industries would be located.

“When anyone wants to build a factory, they go to Tema. When the NDC comes into office we will properly structure this place so when anyone wants to build a factory, they could come to this stretch and put one up.

“We will designate this place from Amasaman to Suhum as an industrial zone. Anyone who wants to build a factory should come and establish it here. When they come and build here, those factories will be registered under the 24-hour economy policy,” he promised.

In order to grow and hire more young people, the former president indicated that firms will benefit from tax incentives under the proposal.
