T2: Industrial Transformation

Make what we use

Under the Industrial Transformation, Ghana will aim to manufacture all consumer goods locally - from basic necessities like pens, clothing, shoes, TV sets, mobile phones, buses, cars, tractors, building materials, sanitary wares, furniture, aeroplanes and satellites etc.

The older generation will remember that during Nkrumah’s short rule, Ghana was producing many of the items listed above.

This initiative will reduce reliance on imports and stimulate local industry and the creation of millions of jobs for the people of Ghana, fostering economic independence.

We spend over US$ 250 million on used clothing, US$ 400 million (GHS 1.6 billion?) on building materials, US$ 358 million on cars.

The value chain for each of these three items alone, if being produced locally, will release billions of Ghana Cedis into the nation, that will spread prosperity in this country.

A PAG Government will reverse this trend by initiating a transformation in which we produce most of the goods we need in this country.
