Uphold peaceful environment to attract foreign investors - GIPC Boss

Mr. Yoofi Grant, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), has entreated Ghanaians, irrespective of one’s political sentiments or religious background, to uphold the peaceful environment we are enjoying as a country to enable us to attract foreign investors.

He stated that one of the major attractions of foreign investors to Ghana is the peaceful environment in the country and security, adding that despite occasional security issues, the country is relatively peaceful.

Speaking at press encounter in Kumasi to sensitise the media in understanding GIPC roles programmes and objectives, Mr. Grant explained that the main aims and objectives of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) are to travel and attract foreign investors, and to collaborate with them to help expand our infrastructural sector in a peaceful and business-friendly atmosphere.

According to him, Ghana needs more investors to explore our oil, gas and bauxite for the benefit of the citizenry, hence, the need to partner foreign investors to develop those sectors.

He indicated that Ghana is generally known for its political stability, and stressed the need to prioritise our security and rule of law to sustain the country’s peaceful environment to attract foreign investors.
