Kwakye Ofosu stated, “Your Longevity should equip you with the experience and know-how to be able to do much better than your competitors in the Market. I will champion your case strongly on the need for you, to get even preferential treatment. So that your mandate can be performed because there is no point in setting up a printing house without getting work to do.”
