*The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, on Thursday morning, commissioned Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Dawhenya in the Ningo-Prampram District of the Greater-Accra Region.*
The 192 bed capacity edifice which include classrooms, conference hall, etc and situated close to the 75 Greenhouse farms, will serve as a learning centre and hostel facility for the youth working on the farms.
In his address, the President said the farms will provide some 4,500 tones of tomatoes annually and will generate 11 million (GH¢ 11,000.000) revenue for the country with tens of thousands of Ghanaian youth already employed. He mentioned that some local shops and malls such as Shoprite, Farmers La Coute, and many more are already selling products from the farms, which he said is integral part of government's flagship "Planting for Food and Jobs" programme.
The President urged the Ministry of Business Development, to continue to collaborate effectively with the Agric Ministry, and the Ministry of Environment, Science Technology and Innovation, to ensure success of the venture.
The President again, charged the Ministry of Business Development, led by Dr. Ibrahim Mohammed Awal, to lead domestic businesses toward the "Ghana Beyond Aid" agenda.
