A new nuts company, Nuts For Growth (N4G) is being built in the Northern Region to help create jobs for the people in the area.
The company seeks to create 30,000 indirect jobs and 700 direct jobs to reduce unemployment in the Northern Region.
The Sheanut and Soya Bean Suppliers Association of Tamale expressed gratitude to Nuts For Growth for its efforts.
The association said N4G was putting up a factory at Duuyin, a community along the Tamale/Salaga highway, to process sheanuts, maize and soya beans, and appealed to the Ministries of Gender and Social Protection and Trade and Industry to assist in ensuring the success of the company.
These were contained in a statement issued in Tamale by the spokesperson for the Sheanut and Soya Bean Suppliers Association of Tamale, Mr Mohammed Sallam.
The statement expressed worry that some faceless individuals, including some persons from a similar nuts company outside the Northern Region, had started scheming to thwart the efforts of the project, and made it clear that the people in the Northern Region would resist any attempt to deprive them of that great opportunity.
It said more than 100 people had been engaged in the project, and described the Chief Executive Officer of the N4G, Mrs Dora Harborsutei Torwiseh, as a very honest woman who could propel the area’s development, and appealed to people making deliberate attempt to ruin her reputation to stop.
