Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Thursday officially opened the brand-new state-of-the-art Nissan vehicle assembly plant in the Tema Industrial enclave, near Accra.<\/p>\n

The nine-million-Dollar 5000 Square meter plant, a partnership between Japan Motors Ghana, and Nissan Africa, will assemble Nissan\u2019s hardy Navara pick-up truck for the Ghanaian and West African market.<\/p>\n

At a short ceremony, President Akufo-Addo said the intervention was an important milestone in Ghana\u2019s quest to make the country a manufacturing hub and a leading player in the automobile industry in Africa.<\/p>\n

The establishment of the plant, he stated, attested to the attractiveness of Ghana as a prime investment destination despite the current economic challenges largely occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The President said the collaboration between a leading Ghanaian company and a global Japanese vehicle brand, made an even more compelling case for Ghana as the new commercial and investment capital for Africa.<\/p>\n

The development of the automobile industry is one of the strategic anchor industries being promoted by government under its investment promotion agenda to diversify the Ghanaian economy.<\/p>\n

Currently, the importation of both motor and transport vehicles constitutes the leading import into Ghana, estimated at a total annual value of 1.5 billion dollars.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo noted that the COIVID-19 pandemic and the disruption in the global supply chain, underlined the critical need for Ghana to become more self-reliant and produce what the country uses domestically.<\/p>\n

However, that development, he said, had opened opportunities for Ghana to enhance its industrial productive capacities to feed the domestic and export market.<\/p>\n

Ghana has over the past three years attracted investment from several global iconic brands including Volkswagen and Toyota which have commenced operations.<\/p>\n

Other original equipment manufacturing groups including Hyundai, Kia and Isuzu have also reached advanced stages of commencing commercial production in the country.<\/p>\n

Those new investments, President Akufo-Addo pointed out, had been realized on the back of Ghana\u2019s new automotive development programme which offered very generous fiscal incentives, creating the attractive environment for the industry to thrive.<\/p>\n

He assured Japan Motors and Nisan of the safety and profitability of their investment, adding that the government was determined to support the automotive industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to design innovative policies to ensure the sustainability of the industry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nissan\u2019s Africa Managing Director, Mike Whitfield, said the plant was proof of the fantastic public private partnership between the Government of Ghana, Japan Motors, and Nissan Africa<\/p>\n

\u201cThe existence of this plant is tribute to the passion and commitment of Japan Motors investing USD 9 million, which would not have been possible without the security and certainty offered by the Government of Ghana\u2019s progressive automotive industry development policy which was signed into law in record time.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana today stands as a benchmark for the African automotive industry, an example of what can be done when there is a will and a vision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
