The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, accompanied by the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, Stan Dogbe, represented the President at the Ghana Automotive Summit 2025, reaffirming the government’s unwavering support for Ghana’s growing automotive industry.
In his remarks, Debrah recalled Ghana’s rich car assembly history from the 1970s and described today’s developments as a renaissance — a rebirth of national industrial ambition.
He underscored the importance of local production in creating jobs, restoring dignity, and making brand-new vehicles affordable for ordinary Ghanaians.
He highlighted Ghana’s potential to become a major vehicle export hub in West Africa, referencing successful exports to Côte d’Ivoire.
The Chief of Staff further encouraged the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into production lines and promised the government’s commitment to providing practical support and incentives to investors.
“As a government, we are all ears,” he said. “Let’s move this industry forward — together.”
Government has inaugurated a Technical Committee to drive the implementation of the Accra Marine Drive Tourism Investment Project, a key initiative aimed at transforming the capital’s waterfront into a world-class tourism and commercial hub.
Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, described the move as a critical step to accelerate progress, stressing the need for efficiency, collaboration, and accountability.
The Committee, chaired by Deputy Minister Yussif Issaka Jajah, will coordinate stakeholders, address bottlenecks, and ensure timely delivery of the project.
The initiative is expected to boost tourism, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth, reinforcing Ghana’s commitment to sustainable development.
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has stepped up its fire safety education efforts in Suhum Municipality and Abetifi Odwenease as part of ongoing campaigns to prevent fire outbreaks and improve emergency readiness.
In Suhum, fire officers engaged traders and customers, educating them on handling LPG leakages, proper use of fire extinguishers, and general shop safety practices. Meanwhile, the Kwahu East Command extended outreach in Abetifi Odwenease, visiting homes, drinking spots, construction sites, and stores to promote safe handling of flammable materials, proper electrical usage, and correct gas cylinder placement.
Practical demonstrations on fire extinguisher use were conducted, and residents were encouraged to adopt good housekeeping habits and proactive safety measures to reduce fire risks and protect lives and property.
