At the launch, Akuffo-Addo said the new assembly plant will help reduce imports of secondhand vehicles and boost export earnings.
He added that Ghana aims to boost its auto sector and attract automakers with generous fiscal incentives to assemble and produce cars in the country.
According to report, the plant was established to assembly Toyota Hilux pick-up and other sedans by the Toyota Tsusho Manufacturing Company Limited.
Reacting to the development via his Instagram account on Wednesday, a former media aide to ex-President Goodluck, Reno Omokri said:
“Toyota snubbed Nigeria for Ghana
“Twitter snubbed Nigeria for Ghana
“Google AI Twitter snubbed Nigeria for Ghana
