The presentation was made during an event at the 1D1F Secretariat in Accra on Tuesday, September 15, 2020, where the company and two other companies: Petersfield and Ray Group Limited, and Ekumfi Fruits and Juices were presented with certificates of recognition endorsed by the president.

“On behalf of his excellency the president, I want to commend these three companies and all 1D1F projects and promoters for believing in His Excellency's dream and defying all odds to make this dream a success. On behalf of his excellency the president, I say 'ayekoo' to these three companies and other 1D1F projects and promoters who will receive their certificates very soon,” she said.

The One District One Factory Secretariat on the assumption of the Akufo-Addo government was instituted to facilitate the setting up of factories across the various districts in the country to put Ghana on the path of industrialization and self-reliance.

So far, the secretariat has overseen the establishment and operationalization of several factories across the nation with others also under construction.
