President John Mahama has announced a new policy direction aimed at ending the export of Ghana’s mineral ores in their raw form by 2030, as part of his government’s drive to boost industrialisation and job creation.

Speaking at the Accra Reset Addis Reckoning event in Addis Ababa on Saturday, February 14, President Mahama said Ghana must move away from exporting unprocessed resources and instead invest in building strong local refining and processing capacity.
