Dzata cement a wholly owned Ghanaian cement manufacturing company has started production.

The company which is owned by businessman Ibrahim Mahama who is also a brother of former President John Mahama has been greeted with a lot of excitement by a cross section of Ghanaians.

Maverick Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong has joined the clarion call for Ghanaians to support one of our own and eschew vengeful party politics.

He made this known while speaking on a programme on his Net 2 TV on Monday night.

Hon. Agyapong applauded the efforts of the businessman to set up such a big venture and added that from now onwards he has directed those handling his construction works to go in for Dzata cement.

“We need to commend Ibrahim Mahama. He’s the one who has brought Dzata cement, the only Ghanaian-owned cement manufacturing company,” Mr. Agyapong said.

“From today, I’m going to instruct [those handling] my construction; they should all go and buy Dzata cement. Yes, because he’s a Ghanaian.

“Let’s put the politics aside and encourage, motivate Ghanaians who have big dreams. He has brought Dzata cement, forget that he’s NDC or NPP. He’s a Ghanaian.”

The company is located on a 10-acre land near the Tema Port, with the cement already on the market.
