Use local foods and locally manufactured products as Christmas gifts – Dr Kankam Kwarteng to Ghanaians

A Senior Lecturer at the Kumasi Technical University (KsTU), Dr Collins Kankam Kwarteng, famed as Santiago, has called on the public to use local foods and locally manufactured products as Christmas gifts.

According to the lecturer, it was not out of place for one to send locally produced rice, cassava, plantain and other home grown products as Christmas gifts to their loved ones,

Speaking on the Kumasi based OTEC 102.9 FM’s morning show “Nyansapo”, on Friday December 9, 2022, the Marketing Lecturer said the Ghana’s financial sector will get a much greater impetus needed to boost the local economy if the public were to use locally produced products before and after the yuletide.

 “If we want a sound economy, the citizens must support local manufacturers by patronizing their products for the indigenous companies to be more productive, do more export and to stabilize our currency”.

The Kwarteng emphasized that, changing the taste of our food from foreign products to local ones remains one  of the major ways bring a halt to the ever rising Ghana cedi against other international currencies.
