The Acting Director-General of the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), Mr John Boadu, led a delegation on a visit to the Kumasi Abattoir Company Ltd. to discuss strategic initiatives and to reinforce the importance of innovation and efficiency in the operations of state-owned enterprises.
Mr Boadu and his delegation were warmly received by the Managing Director of Kumasi Abattoir, Mr Alhassan Mahamadou.
In his welcome remarks, Alhassan Mahamadou stated that the visit was historic as it was the first time a Director-General of SIGA had visited the facility.
He also highlighted the company’s recent efforts to upgrade its facilities and processes to fulfil its mandate of providing wholesome and hygienic meat for public consumption. "We are committed to enhancing our capabilities to meet both local and international standards and SIGA’s support will be pivotal in achieving these goals," Mr Alhassan Mahamadou remarked.
He also introduced the team to some products of the Kumasi Abattoir including minced meat, sausages, burgers and beef brisket.
During the visit, Mr Boadu emphasised the critical role of Kumasi Abattoir in Ghana’s meat processing industry and encouraged the company to adopt innovative practices to enhance its operations. "The sustainability and growth of our state-owned enterprises hinge on our ability to innovate and modernise.
