“The type of visitors our president is getting these days is a clear manifestation that times are changing and changing well for this economy of ours. But no matter how much people favor us, we need players to make it work to benefit from all this good will, we need captains of industry to make use of this good will to develop this county. That is why I am personally interested in the top 100 companies in this country," he mentioned.
“You have a responsibility to help us develop this economy, to help us generate employment to move Ghana from a lower middle-income country to proper middle income country and then become a developed country in the final analysis. I am happy that we are celebrating the best of the best,” he added.
