The Akufo-Addo administration is hoping 51 districts will have started the implementation of the One-District-One-Factory programme by the end of 2017.<\/p>\n

As government launched the One-District-One-Factory programme on Friday with the sod-cutting for the Ekumfi Pineapple Factory, President Nana Akufo-Addo noted that\u00a080,000 jobs were also expected to be created from the running of these factories.<\/p>\n

“It is envisioned that 51 districts will actually start the\u00a0implementation of their enterprises by the end of the year with the potential to generate a minimum of 80,000 direct and indirect jobs,” the President said.<\/p>\n

With the first factory commissioned under the policy, the President said: “it is now clear that this\u00a0programme\u00a0is destined to succeed,\u201d and the naysayers who did not believe in the New Patriotic Party\u2019s One-District-One-Factory\u2019 project have been put to shame.<\/p>\n

\"ekumfi\"<\/p>\n

The Ekumfi pineapple factory is expected to employ over 5000 people and will be completed by mid-2018.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo also appealed for the \u201cunalloyed support of every Ghanaian and the financial institutions and\u00a0organisations\u00a0for the success of this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0One-District-One-Factory programme will also be key to stemming rural-urban migration and dealing with unemployment, the President said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to banish the sector of young able\u00a0bodied\u00a0young\u00a0men and women\u00a0who\u00a0leave our rural areas for urban areas in search of non-existent jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery district in our country abounds in raw\u00a0materials\u00a0and it is the vision of the government to\u00a0create\u00a0economic\u00a0growth\u00a0poles out of them. It is the only way we can deal effectively with the\u00a0greatest\u00a0threat to\u00a0our\u00a0future \u2013 widespread unemployment among our youth.\u201d<\/p>\n
