NEIP: Ghana to become the most business friendly country in the world

The National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan which was launched recently by the government of Ghana would be a key tool for making Ghana the most business-friendly country in the world. This was said by Acting Chief Director of the Ministry of Business Development (Office Of The President), Mr. Joe Tackie at the Executive Breakfast Meeting held at the African Regent Hotel in Accra on Thursday.

Mr. Takie who spoke on behalf of the Minister for Business Development, Hon. Mohammed Awal said “under the Ministry of Business Development, we are implementing the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan (NEIP) and that is taking care of young people who are anxious about starting their own businesses and in so doing, there is the opportunity for them to be trained, there is the opportunity to provide them with spaces for them to begin to implement their ideas; we call them incubation spaces, then support business advisory support, to ensure that, as startups, they can stay the cause and be able to implement these businesses”.
