Government's Labour Export Policy: Ghana Maritime Authority must be supported in achieving objective - Samson Asaki Awingobit

The Ghana Maritime Authority's efforts toward enhancing the country's labor export policy received a boost from industry expert Samson Asaki Awingobit. He emphasized the need for collective support to realize the government's objectives in this sector. Speaking at an event, Awingobit highlighted that the successful implementation of a robust labor export framework could significantly benefit Ghana's economy by providing job opportunities for citizens and attracting foreign revenue.

He urged stakeholders, including government agencies and private enterprises, to collaborate closely with the Maritime Authority. This partnership is crucial for establishing sound policies and regulations that ensure safe and ethical labor practices abroad. According to Awingobit, creating awareness about available opportunities in international markets will empower Ghanaians seeking employment overseas.

With proper support and strategic planning, he believes Ghana can position itself as a leader in labor export within West Africa. By leveraging its maritime resources effectively, the country stands to enhance its global economic presence while improving living standards at home through increased remittances from overseas workers.
