'Govt will stem economic decline

The Vice-President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama, on Thursday reiterated the government's resolve to stem the country's economic decline and return it to the path of growth in the shortest possible time. He pointed out, however, that this can be achieved if Ghanaians commit themselves to working a little harder than before.

Alhaji Mahama said this when he opened the fifth Ghana Industry and Technology Exhibition (INDUTECH 2001) at the Ghana International Trade Fair Centre in Accra.

Over 800 exhibitors from Ghana, Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso, Denmark, others are taking part in the fair being organised by the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) to showcase locally- manufactured products and to expand market for the products.
