The Government has been tasked to play a leading role in the patronage of Made-in-Ghana products as local industries strive to achieve better quality standards. He said the Government could not promote skills development and turn round to import items that were produced locally. Dr Akplu was addressing the “Comfort Ntiamoah-Mensah Memorial Forum,” on TVET, organised in Accra on the theme: “Building a Solid Foundation for TVET in Ghana - A Situational Analysis”. Dr Akplu, therefore, urged Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to support the initiative to make Ghana’s products competitive on the international market. “CSO’s should engage with industry and professional bodies to push this agenda and push away from the low-skills equilibrium trap,” Dr Akplu advised.
