Borteyman:Nungua The Nungua Traditional Stool Authority has collaborated with WT Plastics to set up a plastics manufacturing factory at Borteyman, near the Accra-Tema Motorway. This initiative is anticipated to generate 400 direct jobs and over 1,000 indirect jobs for the local community.
According to Ghana Web, the project aims to promote industrial development and provide employment opportunities for the youth, thereby boosting economic activity in Nungua and surrounding areas. At the groundbreaking ceremony, Chief of Nungua Sangonaa, Nii Sango, emphasized the importance of the project in addressing youth unemployment through industrialization.
The factory will be built on land owned by the Nungua Traditional Stool Authority and will take advantage of Borteyman's strategic location to enhance operational efficiency. Nii Sango highlighted the authority's commitment to creating sustainable opportunities for the people of Nungua, especially the youth.
Priority for the 400 direct jobs will be given to Nungua indigenes, offering them employment, technical skills, and sustainable livelihoods. Additionally, more than 1,000 indirect jobs are expected to benefit suppliers, distributors, traders, food vendors, and other local businesses.
Nii Sango asserted that the partnership intends to deliver tangible economic benefits to the community, addressing social issues such as crime by providing meaningful employment opportunities. He encouraged the youth to prepare for the job opportunities that will arise from the project.
The collaboration between WT Plastics, a Ghanaian manufacturer, and the Nungua Traditional Stool Authority is expected to bolster private-sector investment in the area while offering new opportunities for local businesses and workers. Nii Sango urged residents to support and protect the project, expressing hope that the factory will contribute to a safer and more prosperous community.
The project is set to establish Borteyman as an emerging industrial hub along the Accra-Tema Motorway, creating new economic prospects for Nungua and neighboring communities.
