The Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyeremanten has inaugurated a nine-member board of Directors of the Ghana Trade Fair Company Limited in Accra.

The board is expected to enhance domestic retail trade and promote made-in-Ghana goods. The members are Daniel McKorley, Chairman; Dr Agnes Adu; Nii Kpobi Tettey Tsuru III; Madam Gloria Annoh-Wiafe; Tobby Anamkwah and Lawson Tornyi.

The rest are Mrs Ruth O.Q. Addison, Madam Fatimatu Abubakar and Hubert Sevor, all members of the board.

The minister said it was government’s ambitions to drive industrialisation in the country and urged the board to help strategise plans to achieve the agenda.

He said the government was working assiduously to transform the company into a world-class facility to incorporate a national conference centre and entertainment site among others to put the country on the world map.

He also challenged the board to help promote the country’s products in international markets and affirmed government’s commitment to support the private sector to establish industrial enterprise across the districts.

“Government aims to decentralize industrialization and bring industries to the doorsteps of the citizenry, and that, this could be effective with the support from all and sundry”, he added.

Chairman of the newly inaugurated board, Daniel McKorley on behalf of the board members thanked President Nana Akufo-Addo for the confidence reposed in them and pledged to revive the image of the company.
