The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has commended GoldBod Jewellery Limited for organising the Heritage Village event, describing it as a significant platform for promoting local enterprise and value addition within Ghana’s gold sector.
Speaking at the official opening of the event held at Airport, near the Hajj Village, the Vice President praised the initiative for bringing together indigenous Ghanaian businesses to showcase locally made products.
“I commend the GoldBod Jewellery for bringing together other indigenous Ghanaian businesses to showcase made in Ghana products,” she said.
She noted that such collaborations are essential to advancing the government’s agenda of value addition and industrial growth.
“Your presence here is an important collaboration because value addition means a lot to this government,” she added.
H.E. Opoku-Agyemang further highlighted the importance of innovation and craftsmanship in Ghana’s development, describing the exhibition as a reflection of the country’s rich creative potential.
She expressed satisfaction that the event was held during Ghana Month, a period dedicated to celebrating national identity and promoting locally produced goods.
Underscoring the strategic importance of gold to the national economy, the Vice President urged Ghanaians to support locally produced jewellery and value-added gold products.
“Let us all support this innovation and collaboration in order to strengthen Ghana’s industrial and entrepreneurial ecosystem,” she stated, while congratulating the organisers and participants and wishing the initiative success.
Following her address, MD of Goldbod Jewellery Limited, Ms. Gertrude Emefa Donkor, Esq. led the Vice President on a tour of the exhibition stands, interacting with exhibitors and observing a range of locally manufactured products.
At the GoldBod Jewellery stand, she was taken through the full process of transforming refined gold into finished jewellery pieces.
The event was also attended by brand ambassadors of GoldBod Jewellery Limited, Bola Ray and Joselyn Dumas, who pledged their continued support for the brand and its promotion of Made-in-Ghana products.
The Heritage Village is a three-day exhibition aimed at showcasing Ghana’s gold through expertly crafted jewellery, including necklaces, rings and other ornaments.
In addition to the exhibition, GoldBod Jewellery is selling its flagship gold tablets, described by the company as a high-value investment product.
The initiative forms part of ongoing efforts to promote value addition in Ghana’s gold industry, while strengthening local entrepreneurship and expanding opportunities within the sector.
