President John Mahama has called on members of the African International Advertising Association to use good packaging practices that could propel their goods and products onto international markets.<\/p>\n
He said packaging alongside promotion of tourist sites and other positives of Africans could be instrumental to the growth and development of the continent in the coming days.<\/p>\n
President Mahama made this call when he addressed members of the International Advertising Association (IAA) at their two-day \u201cAfrica Rising, the new consumer Generation IAA,\u201d conference in Accra.<\/p>\n
President Mahama said Africa was the continent of opportunities, and the harnessing of those opportunities would solely depend on the African Industrialists and professionals.<\/p>\n
He announced that government was working around the clock to pass the Advertising Bill which would regulate the advertising industry to reduce irregularities in the sector.<\/p>\n
Faris Abouhamad, IAA President said the conference was not only relevant to businesses,\u00a0but those in communications and publications as well.<\/p>\n
He said the world was changing and it was therefore necessary for all to adopt new measures that could propel trade and investment in the next generations.<\/p>\n
