President Mahama urges private sector job creation at KRIF product launch
President John Mahama has reiterated his administration's commitment to encourage private sector growth as a key driver of employment in Ghana.
Speaking on behalf of the President, head of research, statistics, and information management at the Office of the President, Ms Juliana Ama Kplorfia, at the product launch and exhibition organised by KRIF Ghana Limited in collaboration with Diplomat Safe of Korea, the President underscored the importance of private enterprises in shaping the nation’s economic future.
"I urge KRIF Ghana to remain steadfast in creating opportunities within the private sector. Your efforts are not just building businesses but shaping the future of our nation by driving economic growth and providing employment for our people,” she said.
The event, held at the British Council auditorium in Accra, showcased cutting edge safe boxes, including the Istella and the Dbaum fireproof safe boxes, both equipped with ultramodern features to meet diverse consumer needs.

Chairman of KRIF Ghana, Rev. Kennedy Okosun, emphasised the significance of adopting secure solutions to safeguard valuables, urging Ghanaians to consider the high-security features of their products.
“These safes offer unparalleled protection, with features such as camouflage designs tailored to customer preferences and advanced locking mechanisms. Investing in these safes is not just a purchase but is also a peace of mind," he said.
Celebrating 39 years of excellence
