President John Mahama has commended the First Sky Group for its contribution to national development and reaffirmed government’s commitment to supporting capable Ghanaian-owned companies to drive economic growth.

He said strengthening indigenous enterprises was critical to increasing the country’s Gross National Product (GNP), which measures the value of goods and services produced by citizens, rather than focusing solely on Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The President made the remarks at an interdenominational thanksgiving service in Accra to mark the 23rd anniversary of the First Sky Group.
