It is an honour for me to be at this year’s 16th edition of the Ghana Club 100 Awards event. It is my first as President of the Republic, and I share the excitement of all the winners. The companies who have availed themselves to be ranked in the 16th edition of the now well-established Ghana Club 100 Awards have all shown a high level of commitment to business growth and excellence – Congratulations.
This year’s theme – Industrialization, a tool for Job creation and accelerated economic development is at the core of government’s vision to drive Ghana towards its much-anticipated dream of a self-sufficient economy which can feed its people, give equal opportunity for prosperity and support its people to be the best that they possibly could. Although, I remain the chief employer, it is my expectation that, the majority of the jobs that are going to be created in my time will be created by the private sector. A vibrant private sector can create so many more jobs than the public sector.
