He stated that the decision to establish such a factory in Ghana is in the right direction since it will positively impact the lives of people in the Western region.
“As a government, we applaud Diamond Cement for the confidence they continue to demonstrate in Ghana. This gives strong positive signals to other investors about the conduciveness of the Ghanaian business environment for companies to invest significant amount of money into our economy. Ghana is rising,” he said.
