In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine War, Yofi Grant, chief executive officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, praised the private sector for its enormous assistance in salvaging the Ghanaian economy.
“The private sector in Ghana has had to change significantly to accommodate the exigencies of the pandemic. Entrepreneurs and businesses were compelled to seek out and adopt new strategies to modify their business operations to remain productive and stable.”
“From the way, work was conducted to where work was conducted, it is safe to say that virtual work and other innovations have become the new normal”, he said.
On his part, Senior Advisor to President Akufo-Addo, Yaw Osafo Marfo said the country will recover from the global shocks if there are more investments into the Ghanaian economy by the private sector.
“As a catalyst to the Ghanaian economy, the private sector has done very well and with more investments more can be done to fight any external shocks”.
Other companies were awarded for contributing to the success of the club 100 awards.
