Mrs Samira Bawumia, the Second Lady who graced the occasion, said the country's transformational agenda was a shared responsibility in which the private sector had a big role to play.
She urged the private sector to invest in other areas such as health care, education and agriculture to push the growth agenda even faster.
She stated that "The burden of prosperity we constantly seek as a people can no longer be carried by government alone; let us all join hands to create jobs and opportunities for our people."
"The farmers, I am told, have undergone special training and also provided with seedlings to grow fruits and vegetables locally to be sold in the mall," Mrs Bawumia said.

According to her, "I have no doubt that the Takoradi Mall is capable of injecting renewed energy in the manufacturing industry while creating local entrepreneurs and boosting spending in the region."
She said the government is creating a conducive and enabling environment for the private sector to thrive.
"I therefore urge private sector players to take advantage of government’s policies and programmes to create more jobs and opportunities for our people," she noted.
