Former Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has revealed that Ghana is on track to become the leading assembly hub in West Africa, thanks to strong and strategic support from Chinese partners. Speaking at a business dialogue in Accra, Mr. Debrah highlighted ongoing collaborations aimed at boosting local vehicle and equipment assembly in Ghana to serve the sub-region.
He explained that Chinese investors and manufacturers have shown increasing interest in Ghana’s industrial potential due to its stable political environment, central location in West Africa, and growing infrastructure. According to him, discussions are far advanced to establish key assembly plants that will create jobs and reduce import dependency.
“This is a unique opportunity for Ghana to position itself as the go-to centre for assembling and distributing heavy machinery, vehicles, and electronics across West Africa,” Debrah stated. He added that such a move will not only enhance Ghana’s industrial sector but also support skills transfer, technology development, and economic diversification.
