Chief of Staff Julius Debrah has called for a coordinated, non-partisan approach to Ghana’s industrial development, arguing that long-term economic growth depends on consistent support for industrial policies across successive governments.
Debrah made the remarks during a visit to Nutrifoods Ghana Limited, where he led a government delegation to tour the company’s newly expanded operations and upgraded production facilities. As part of the visit, he commissioned a modernised can-making line alongside the Minister of Trade, Agribusiness & Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, and other officials.
He described Nutrifoods as a strong example of President Mahama’s proposed 24-hour economy, highlighting the company’s multi-shift production model and extensive reliance on locally sourced raw materials. According to him, such industrial practices demonstrate the potential for manufacturing to drive job creation and economic resilience.
Debrah expressed confidence that new government incentives, particularly the Export Drive Bill, will attract additional private sector investment, deepen local production capacity, and expand Ghana’s footprint in regional and international markets.
He also commended Nutrifoods for its commitment to high production standards, innovation, and alignment with national programmes aimed at boosting local manufacturing.
Management of Nutrifoods reaffirmed the company’s dedication to supporting Ghana’s industrial transformation, strengthening supply chains, reducing import dependency, and positioning the country as a competitive hub for the West African sub-region.
