GANTA, September 10 (LINA) - A business executive in Nimba County is calling on the Liberian Government to support Liberian businesses, if the country's economy is to see Liberians play a key role.
Prince Howard, Chief Executive Officer of the business firm, Alvino Incorporated, said the government can support Liberian businesses by providing them loans, training in business management and prioritizing local businesses in the award of contracts, among others.

Mr. Howard made the call recently in Ganta when he officially opened to the public a modern clothes manufacturing industry.

specializes in sewing and styling of male and female wears like jeans, linen, lace and lappas, among others, Mr. Howard disclosed.

The YDK also sews and sells African and European fashion materials for weddings, funerals and other occasions, added Howard.

He also said the YDK has began supplying and sewing uniforms and uniform clothes for schools, banks, restaurants and other organizations in Ganta and its environs.
