Ghana exports gold, cocoa, timber, minerals—and little else. These were our same primary exports at the time of independence. And like most African nations, Ghana imports almost everything our population consumes, from televisions to toothpicks. We even import goods and products that we are more than capable of producing locally, like rice, sugar, wheat, poultry and flour. Its about time we invested in ourselves. Standard regulation may be to blame but the inherent dismissive attitude of anything Made in Ghana and the hankering for foreign produce across board needs to be addressed. 57 years of sovereignty. 57 years of relying on a foundation of systems and infrastructure from 57. Its about time we started building on these foundations with our own men and women, our own tools, our own building blocks, fashioned by our own designs from our brilliant minds. ..new Africa is ready to fight his own battles and show that after all the black man is capable of managing his own affairs. Dont make Nkrumah a liar. Make Ghana MADE IN GHANA
