Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang Engages Sunda Group, Reaffirms Government’s Commitment to Investment, Jobs

Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has underscored government’s commitment to creating a stable and enabling business environment as she held a high-level meeting with the Sunda Group, led by its Ghana Director, Mr. Michael Ye.

The meeting followed the commissioning of Sunda Group’s new production line, an investment Mr. Ye said reflects the company’s strong confidence in Ghana’s improving economic outlook. He expressed appreciation to the Vice President for her presence at the commissioning and reaffirmed Sunda Group’s commitment to expanding its operations in the country.

Vice President Opoku-Agyemang stressed that government remains resolute in fostering macroeconomic stability and policies that boost investor confidence and allow businesses to thrive. She noted that effective collaboration between government and the private sector is essential to national development.

She highlighted the company’s adoption of the 24-Hour Economy initiative through its new production line as clear evidence of how policy can translate into increased productivity, expanded operations and job creation. According to her, this aligns with government’s vision that sustained economic growth must be driven by innovation, efficiency and strong public–private partnerships that deliver tangible benefits to citizens.

Touching on social development, the Vice President reiterated her firm belief that a girl’s natural biological functions should never be a barrier to education or the realization of her full potential. She emphasized that this conviction underpins the government’s Free Sanitary Pad Initiative, which has been allocated GHS 292.4 million in the 2026 Budget.

She commended the Sunda Group for its donations of sanitary pads, describing the gesture as a meaningful contribution to advancing the national initiative and protecting the dignity and wellbeing of girls across the country.

Vice President Opoku-Agyemang further encouraged Sunda Group to deepen its value chain by exploring the use of locally sourced raw materials in its production processes, noting that this would ensure broader participation by Ghanaians in industrial growth. She also called on Sunda Ghana to intensify public education on the proper disposal of sanitary pads and diapers, citing the importance of hygiene, environmental protection and effective waste management.

She concluded that partnerships such as this demonstrate how government and industry can work together to drive inclusive growth, protect dignity and build a healthier, more productive Ghana.
