  My knowledge of the use of Sodium chloride for example being turned into an Alkaline to support soap making will be good for the soap making industry to stop importing that product from outside the country and same foreign exchange for the Ghana economy.

  Ball back in the court of the Engineers:absence of advanced Engineering skills in Ghana is to blame for lack of development in Ghana.
  
  "Dr. Bernice Heloo, Deputy Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation said government had taken steps to encourage engineers and technologists to help come out with simple, but robust alternative sources of energy generation, town gas from solid waste to cut down on the cost of liquefied petroleum gas among others.
  
  She said engineers and technologists were being challenged to team-up and develop wind-propel electricity generating banks for rural areas.
  
  Dr. Helo called on engineers and planners to come on board to support government and the Ministry to address the issue of galamsey in reclaiming lost farmlands and salvage polluted waters.
  
  Dr. George Afeti, former Secretary General, Commonwealth Association of Polytechnics in Africa and former Rector, Ho Polytechnic said manufacturing, construction and the domestic production of goods and services for domestic consumption and export supported by engineering and technology, is the best strategy for sustainable economic development.
  
  He said Ghana needs advanced engineering and technological skills in many other sectors of the industry to drive economic growth, declaring that the absence of advanced skills puts a limitation on the country’s ability to promote value addition to primary commodities like cocoa, timber and gold"
  
  The Engineers must respond to the challenges.
