Mahama Cuts Sod For 1238 Acre Afienya Industrial Park

📸 President John Dramani Mahama has cut the sod for the construction of the 1,238-acre Afienya Industrial Park, a project expected to boost manufacturing, attract investment and create jobs. The landmark project, located in the Greater Accra Region, is part of government’s ambitious industrialization drive under the Resetting Ghana agenda.

The Afienya Industrial Park is designed to provide world-class infrastructure for light and heavy manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and agro-processing. Government sources say the park will host factories, industrial sheds, access roads, power, water and digital connectivity to enable 24-hour production in line with the 24-Hour Economy policy.

Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony, President Mahama said the park will be a game-changer for Ghana’s manufacturing sector, creating thousands of direct and indirect jobs for youth in Afienya, Tema, Dodowa and surrounding communities. He emphasized that industrialization is key to import substitution, export growth and stabilizing the cedi.

The project is expected to attract both local and foreign direct investment, with special incentives for investors in agro-processing, garment manufacturing, automotive assembly and building materials. The park will also be linked to the Tema Motorway and the proposed railway network to ease transportation of raw materials and finished goods.

The Afienya Industrial Park forms part of a broader network of industrial parks being developed across the country, including the Bechem Meat Factory and other agro-industrial enclaves inspected by President Mahama this week. The strategy is to move Ghana from import dependence to value addition and export-led growth.

Stakeholders in the private sector have welcomed the initiative, describing it as a bold step towards job creation and economic transformation. The first phase of the park is expected to be completed within 18 months, with investors already expressing interest in securing spaces.
