Speaking at the meeting, Dr. Amoakohene applauded MASLOC’s ongoing efforts in providing essential microloans to underserved communities and pledged the full backing of the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) to facilitate smoother operations.
“MASLOC is a lifeline for many small-scale entrepreneurs,” the Minister said. “Our collaboration will focus on expanding their reach to every corner of the region through effective decentralization and continuous capacity building.”
He underscored the need for staff development and skills training as a cornerstone of improved service delivery. The Minister encouraged the MASLOC team to stay committed to professional excellence and innovation in addressing the financing needs of the region’s growing entrepreneurial base.
Special recognition was given to Mr. Prince Atta, Ashanti Regional Manager, and Madam Ophelia Antwi Boasiako, Zonal Manager, for their outstanding leadership and contributions to MASLOC’s mission in the region.
“Their dedication and drive are setting the pace for real impact,” Dr. Amoakohene noted. “Together, we can unlock new opportunities, empower more citizens, and drive inclusive development that touches every district.”
The meeting marked a renewed partnership between the RCC and MASLOC, aiming to intensify efforts in poverty reduction, job creation, and economic inclusion. With stronger support systems and strategic planning, MASLOC is set to become an even more powerful tool for transformation in the Ashanti Region.
