Ghana’s textile sector is struggling and needs government support, according to acting deputy general secretary of the country’s industrial and commercial workers union (ICU), Morgan Ayawine.

Speaking on November 2, Mr Ayawine said: “As a nation aspiring to achieve a middle income status by 2020, we cannot build a strong economy based on buying and selling foreign products dumped on our markets.” He believes school leavers should be encouraged to get involved in important production sectors such as the textile sector.
