Acting Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mary Awusi

The Ghana Free Zones Authority is ramping up efforts to attract investment and drive industrialization.

Acting Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mary Awusi, has highlighted the importance of streamlining processes, strengthening regulatory support and providing timely business facilitation services to stakeholders to foster a more investor-friendly environment.

During a staff engagement at the Authority’s Tema office, Dr. Mary Awusi shared her vision for enhancing efficiency and boosting investor confidence.

She emphasised that a well-structured Free Zones regime is essential for economic growth and job creation.

“By streamlining processes, strengthening regulatory support and offering timely business facilitation services, we will create a more investor friendly environment that enhances Ghana’s industrialisation drive.

“I am committed to ensuring that our collective efforts tackle these key areas of focus as an investment promotion authority. First of them is enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening stakeholder engagement, improving security and infrastructure and lastly promoting a positive work place culture,” she said.

Beyond internal discussions, Dr. Awusi has been engaging with business leaders in the Tema Free Zones enclave, reaffirming her commitment to resolving key operational challenges.

Business leaders expressed concerns about security, water supply, and electricity reliability—persistent issues affecting businesses in the enclave.

She assured investors that the Authority will collaborate with relevant agencies to improve security, stabilize utility services, and create a more favorable environment for business growth.

“As we all know 24 hour economy is one of the key policies of this government and before we can operate 24 hour economy effectively, issues of security, water, energy, is one of our concerns. Pertaining to the security of this enclave, I think I have to quickly meet the minister of interior.

“We are currently constructing a new 2 million-gallon capacity water storage facility for the enclave. So the problem of water shortage will be a thing of the past,” Dr. Awusi added.
