The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Officer of the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly in the Greater Accra Region, Patrick Kwesi Brako Kumor, has lauded the operations of Empire Cement Factory within the municipality.
The MCE who is recognised as the representative of President Nana Dankwa Akufo-Addo in the area has stated that the presence of the factory in the area would go a long way to support Government efforts in creating job for the teeming youth of the area and the country as a whole.
“We believe that when the Empire Cement Factory is operating it would help reduced the high unemployment rate within the municipality and Ghana as a whole,” he disclosed.
