The Deputy Trade Minister Robert Ahomka-Lindsay mentioned this when he met members of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) on Wednesday (July 26, 2017).
“We have had close to 400 business plans that have been presented now. This is interesting because if you look at the business plans that have been presented, over 331 of those are actually business plans. So we are not talking about somebody just writing a couple of sheets and saying that I have a dream to build eggs and as the chairman was saying, these are business plans that we feel are of substance.”
