The Chief Executive (CEO) of Made in Africa Investment Company Limited, Mr Emmanuel Chijoke Mbigbo, said a similar Website had been launched in Tamale and Wa.
He said the ultimate aim of his outfit was to create a website called, “ghanamanufacturers.com and Ghana serviceproviders.com”.
Mr Mgbigbo said Made in Africa Company Limited had displayed Made in Africa goods and services to the rest of the world and that had increased sales of manufacturers and service providers in Africa.
He said the three northern regions were endowed with resources and potentials and that the major problem hindering the development of the area was lack of market.
Mr Joshua Azure, the Regional Director of Ministry of Trade and Industry, said the Trade Ministry was embarking upon Investor Sector Support Programme and Trade Sector Support Programme and with the launch of the Website it would help promote business among small scale business people.
