The Shea-nut and Soybean Suppliers Association of Tamale has expressed gratitude to Nuts For Growth (N4G), a new nuts company that is being built in the Northern Region with the aim of creating more than 30,000 jobs.
The company is aiming at creating 30,000 indirect and 700 direct jobs to reduce unemployment in the Northern Region.
The Association said N4G is putting up a factory at Duuyin, a community along the Tamale/Salaga highway, to process shea-nuts, maize and soya beans, and appealed to the ministries of Gender and Social Protection and Trade and Industry to assist in ensuring success for the company.
These were contained in a statement issued in Tamale on Tuesday and signed by Mr. Mohammed Sallam, spokesperson for the Shea-nut and Soybean Suppliers Association of Tamale.
The statement expressed worry that some faceless individuals, including some persons from a similar nuts company outside the Northern Region, had started scheming to thwart the project -- and that made it clear the people of the Northern Region will resist any attempt to deprive them of the great opportunity.
“The Shea-nut and Soybean Suppliers Association has noticed a deliberate ploy by an organisation that is bent on ensuring that a laudable project meant for the north never sees the light of day,†it said.
The statement said more than 100 people have been engaged on the project and described the Chief Executive Officer of the N4G, Mrs. Dora Harborsutei Torwiseh, as a very honest woman who could propel the area’s development; and appealed to people making deliberate attempts to ruin her reputation to stop.
