Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed his commitment to revitalizing the once-thriving Juapong Textile Factory, now known as the Volta Star Textile Factory.
This announcement came during his campaign tour across various constituencies in the Volta Region, including Juapong in North Tongu, South Dayi, Afadzato, and Ho West.
At a Youth Connect event held at the Juapong Methodist School Park, Dr. Bawumia, the flagbearer for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming December 7 presidential elections, stated,
We have more to accomplish; one of my top priorities is to rejuvenate the Volta Star Textile Factory here in Juapong.
He emphasized,
We will rescue this factory with a new initiative called the ‘Buy Ghana First’ policy. This means that everything the Ghana government purchases will be sourced locally to generate jobs in Ghana.
We will source all our uniforms and related items from the Volta Star Textile Factory to provide employment for our people here.
