GHANA PRESIDENT LAY FOUNDATION FOR FOUNDRY/MACHINE CENTRE CONSTRUCTION

President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has lay the foundation for some infrastructural projects that will help the state capital Accra.

The ceremony was the laying of foundation stone for the construction of a foundry and machine tooling centre in Accra which will help in manufacturing a broad range of machine tools and parts for industries.

Speaking during the ceremony, President Akufo-Addo said the foundry and machine tooling centre will provide agro-processing machines and equipment, farming implements and spare parts for maintenance and repairs.

Quoting President Akufo-Addo, “The facilities at this centre will provide technical support for policy initiatives of the government such as One District One Factory, which is already in place in many districts across the country,”

He further described the centre as a key component of a much broader strategic framework that is designed to ensure that Ghana’s socio-economic development is driven by science, technology and innovation.

Meanwhile, the centre will produce complex metal parts for businesses in sectors such as agriculture, automotive, oil and gas, construction, transportation and metal works. While, items such as covers of drains, manholes, fire hydrants, sewer and water pipes which are usually imported for construction works will be produced at the centre.

The facility is expected to be ready within six to nine months.
