He outlined how the Akufo-Addo government has implemented various policy interventions to shape the industry and ensure that the auto-mechanic industry in the country is given the needed recognition and support.

Stressing on the importance of the industry, Moses Anim disclosed that the Akufo-Addo government, upon assumption of office, noticed that empowering the Commission For Technical And Vocational Educational Training was fundamental to the growth of the informal sector and hence made provisions to make the commission more impactful.

Turning his focus to the graduates, Moses Anim urged them to all times uphold the principles of truthfulness, honesty and openness to modern technological tools.

He explained that with technological advances changing at fast pace, it is imperative that the workers in that industry adapt and embrace them.

He concluded his speech with a GHC1000 donation to the organizers of the event.


The chairman of the Zone 5 chapter of Greater Accra GNAG, Seth Kwabla Klugah described the days as a fulfilling one for the trainers and graduates as they have worked diligently to reach this far.

He gave a historical context to the existence of GNAG and assured that the executives would continue to protect the business interest and welfare of its members.

He placed much emphasis on the integral role of auto-mechanics in the country and reminded the graduates of the need to be good ambassadors of the association.

Each of the 12 graduands was presented with a certificate at the end of the ceremony and they indicated their excitement with a glowing message of appreciation to their masters and the association.
