Mahama solicits traders
support for promoting Ghanaian products
usage
Accra, Feb. 13, GNA
– Vice-President John Dramani Mahama on Friday
urged market women to help government promote
the retail of locally manufactured products to
bring about long-term stability in the economy.
He told a delegation of the Greater Accra
Regional Market Association who called on him at
the Castle to be at the forefront in efforts
aimed at promoting Ghanaian made products so as
to generate sufficient resources for the
development of the country.
Vice-President Mahama said the promotion of
Ghanaian made goods would be a helpful step in
developing an economy that is resilient and able
to withstand the unpredictability of the
international market positively.
He said because women are involved in
decision-making at the grassroots, it is
important that their views were taken into
account in any development policies being
fashioned at that level.
Madam Mercy Needjan, leader of the delegation
pleaded with government to consider
rehabilitating the main market centres in the
region and provide them with sanitary facilities
to promote hygiene.
Madam Needjan also pleaded with government to
help tackle the menace of child trafficking in
the country as that offends the human rights of
the affected children.
