DTI christens entrepreneurship hub after J.A Kufuor to spur industrial growth

John Agyekum Kufuor was honored when the Design and Technology Institute (DTI) revealed that its entrepreneurship centre at the Berekuso campus will be renamed the "J. A. Kufuor Centre for Entrepreneurship." This renaming recognizes his enduring advocacy for private sector-driven development. The initiative is intended to position the facility as a catalyst for enterprise development, employment creation, and industrial expansion.

The centre is part of a wider multi-skills training complex expected to equip thousands of young people annually. The focus will be on practical skills, innovation, and entrepreneurship. According to Constance Swaniker, Founder of the institute, the hub will serve as a breeding ground for viable businesses, particularly for the youth, contributing to efforts to reduce unemployment and boost Ghana's productive capacity.

The success of the renaming is to be judged by the businesses it nurtures and the jobs it helps sustain, creating a "living legacy."
