The National Coordinator for the One District One Factory (1D1F) Policy Hon Gifty Ohene Konadu has revealed that, her Secretariat will deliver all the 1D1F promises made to Ghanaians to shame saboteurs.

According to her, One District One Factory Policy is real and not a '419 scam' as it is visible in most parts of the country.

In an interview with UTV news, Madam Gifty Ohene-Konadu indicated that every district in Ghana has received their part of the One District One factory projects.

She said, some have been completed while others are at the setting up stage, she therefore encouraged Ghanaians especially the business community to support the program and have faith in President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to deliver all the campaign promises made to move Ghana forward.

Ohene-Konadu disclosed this when she visited the site of Tiles Cement processing company at Gomoa Akotsi in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

The CEO of Debridge Industries Tony Kwan-Sare revealed that, the completion of the project will employ over 120 Ghanaians as direct workers and over a thousand indirect jobs will be secured to reduce unemployment rate in the country.

He also appealed to the government to shorten the efforts to give tax exemption on the machines and equipment for the factory. The 1D1F incentives package such as the tax exemption, has been welcomed by many business promoters for which government has been commended for.
