The Chamber of Automobile Dealership Ghana (CADEG) says it remains fully committed to supporting Ghana’s transformation into a modern, sustainable, and innovation-driven transport nation.

Speaking at the maiden edition of the Ghana Transport and Logistics Fair 2025 at the World Trade Centre in Accra on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, the President of CADEG, Obrempong Nana Adu Bonsu Agyekum Prempeh, praised organisers for what he described as a “landmark event.”

Nana Adu Bonsu Agyekum Prempeh, who is also the Group CEO of NABUS Motors, said the initiative came at a crucial period for the transport industry as Ghana embraces technological advancement and environmental sustainability.

“This initiative could not have come at a more opportune time. As the world transitions into a new era of sustainable mobility, digital innovation, and integrated logistics, Ghana’s transport sector must continue to evolve, and this Fair provides the perfect platform to showcase our collective progress and aspirations,” he stressed. 

Automobile Industry’s Role in Economic Development

Highlighting the economic importance of the automobile sector, Obrempong Nana Adu Bonsu Agyekum Prempeh noted that auto dealerships remain key contributors to national growth.

“The automobile dealership industry remains a vital link in this chain, connecting technology, investment, and consumers, while at the same time, supporting job creation and economic growth,” he said.

He emphasised CADEG’s recognition of partnership, innovation, and policy alignment as drivers of a “safer, more efficient, and environmentally responsive transport ecosystem.”

The president of CADEG also called for closer partnerships and enhanced collaboration between critical sectors of the automobile value chain, explaining that coordinated efforts will be crucial for advancing industry standards, expanding market opportunities, and promoting long-term competitiveness.

Collaboration for a Transport Hub in West Africa

“We commend the Ministry of Transport and its collaborators for convening government, industry leaders, and innovators under one roof,” he remarked.
