The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, on Thursday, April 16, paid a working visit to MND Metals Company Limited in the Tema Free Zones Enclave.
The visit was part of the Ministry’s efforts to deepen engagement with key industrial players, better understand their operations, identify challenges facing the sector, and assess how their activities align with the government’s broader industrialisation agenda.
During a guided tour of the company’s facilities, the Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to promoting value addition within the industrial sector.
She explained that the ban on non-ferrous metal exports was introduced as a strategic measure to ensure that raw materials are processed locally, helping to create jobs and expand employment opportunities for young people.
Madam Ofosu-Adjare stressed that the policy aligns with the government’s vision of strengthening local industries and promoting sustainable economic growth through industrialisation.
The Chief Executive Officer of MND Metals Company Limited, Mr. Nidal Nasseredine, expressed his appreciation to the President for the initiative, noting that the policy has helped the company secure sufficient raw materials to sustain and expand its operations.
He also expressed appreciation to the Minister and her delegation for the visit, describing it as a clear sign of the government’s commitment to supporting industries in Ghana.
