“This year, the Made in Ghana Month celebration is going to be bigger and much more intense than ever before. The month of September is going to be packed with social and live activities ranging from indigenous hairdressing competitions, a dance festival partnership and exhibitions among others. It is also a good opportunity for people to show their locally produced items,” Mr Boateng mentioned.
