170,000 jobs created by enterprises in operation under the 1D1F programme – Akufo-Addo
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has announced that 170,000 jobs have so far been created by enterprises in operation under the One District One Factory programme.
The President said this on Tuesday when he honoured an invitation by the Management of Blue Skies Ltd to visit their facility in Nsawam, in the Eastern Region.
One of the core principles of Blue Skies is the belief in “Adding Value at Source”, a viewpoint that aligns perfectly with the Akufo-Addo Government’s One-District-One-Factory (1D1F) policy.
This transformative initiative aims to promote industrialisation at the grassroots level by establishing at least one industrial enterprise in every district of our country.
Mr Akufo-Addo in a Facebook post after the event said “I am proud to say that my government has overseen the development of three hundred and twenty-one (321) 1D1F projects, consisting of two hundred and eleven (211) new medium to large scale enterprises, and the conscious enabling of one hundred and ten (110) existing enterprises, by injecting significant capital investments into the expansion of production facilities, and diversification of products.
“These enterprises have been established in one hundred and forty-two (142) districts across the country, across all sixteen (16) regions, and achieving fifty-four percent (54%) district coverage.
“The aspiration is to bring a 1D1F project to every district. Additionally, within this period, some one hundred and seventy thousand (170,000) jobs have been created under this novel 1D1F Programme by enterprises in operation.”
