Speaking at the ceremony, a Deputy Minister of Trade and Industries, Ms. Nana Dokua Asiamah Adjei reiterated that buying Made-in-Ghana products helps to grow the Ghanaian economy.
She therefore called on the Ghanaian manufacturing sector to help make Ghana, a manufacturing hub in the sub-region.
She expressed the happiness that most of the companies that received awards had gone the extra mile to improve upon their manufacturing processes, packaging and branding.
