The ECOWAS Ambassador said:” The region is blessed with products that have the ability to compete at the highest international level, but less quality limits their chances.”
Also speaking, the Deputy Minister for Industry at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Thomas Goba, called for the establishment of policies that drive quality in the private sector.
