B5 Plus calls for import bans to protect Ghanaian manufacturers and create jobs
B5 Plus Chairman Mukesh Thakwani has called on government to ban imports of products that can be manufactured in Ghana, arguing that stronger support for local industry could create jobs, expand exports and reduce the country’s spending on imported goods.

He argued that supporting local production could help Ghana conserve foreign exchange while creating additional employment.
