<\/p>\n

Okyeame Kwame has thrown his weight behind the campaign being spearheaded by\u00a0Citi FM\u00a0to encourage Ghanaians to patronise locally made rice and other locally made products.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Citi FM\u2019s\u00a0campaign dubbed \u2018Operation Feed Yourself\u2019 has been approved and supported by the Ministry of Food & Agriculture and the Ministry of Information.<\/p>\n

Okyeame Kwame, who has over the years promoted made-in-Ghana products, explained that manufacturing industries in the country cannot thrive when Ghanaians fail to patronize made-in-Ghana products.<\/p>\n

The hiplife artiste, who was appointed made in Ghana ambassador by the Ministry of Trade & Industry in October last year, said there must be sensitisation to change the mindsets of people who believe that imported goods are of better quality.<\/p>\n

He emphasizes that it is high time Ghana reduced the over-dependence on importation of foreign products, adding that \u201cwhen we patronise made-in-Ghana products, we create jobs for our youth in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okyeame Kwame has been using his \u2018Made In Ghana\u2019\u00a0album and social media platforms to promote this cause.<\/p>\n

His roles as an ambassador include serving as a role model for the campaign, creating awareness on made-in-Ghana goods and services on his various platforms and participating in events related to the made-in-Ghana campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
