Ghana is optimistic of becoming Africa’s automotive hub in the near future, with focus on industrial transformation.

According to Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyerematen, the entry of some key foreign manufacturing firms into the country has boosted Ghana’s policy drive towards the agenda.

Speaking at a short ceremony to open the Accra branch of Zonda Tec Limited, a special purpose vehicle and trucks assembling company in Ghana, Mr. Kyerematen said the opening of the Zonda Tec Service centre and showroom is part of the move by the company to take advantage of the country’s automotive development policies to expand its presence in Africa.

The Trade Minister believes the move will open up opportunities for many Ghanaians to be employed as part of the industrialization agenda.

“With the coming in of the assembling and manufacturing giants into our market, we hope and sincerely believe that Ghana in the near future will be the automotive hub for the continent of Africa and not only West Africa.”
