On Tuesday, May 2, 2023, President Akufo-Addo officially opened the Rana Motors Assembly Plant at Amasaman, Accra.

The facility is by far the largest assembly plant built under the government's Ghana Automotive Development Policy.

In a Facebook post, the President wrote: “Today marked yet another great milestone for the people of Ghana and for the Akufo-Addo government, in our quest, first, to industrialise our country, and, secondly, to become the automobile hub in the West African Region."

Per reports, the facility has already offered direct employment to fifty (50) young men and women, and it is expected to create some three hundred (300) indirect jobs, whilst contributing to the development of the local value chain for automobile assembly.

The company has the capacity to assemble some thirty thousand (30,000) vehicles annually, bringing the total capacity of domestically established assembly plants close to one hundred thousand (100,000) vehicles per annum.
