The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) says it is nearing the final stages of reviewing applications for cannabis licences, with successful applicants expected to receive approval to begin operations soon. The Deputy Director-General in charge of Enforcement, Control and Elimination, Alexander Twum-Barimah, disclosed this while speaking at the Kwahu Business Forum.
He explained that the review process has been "thorough and deliberate" to ensure that only applicants who meet all legal, regulatory and security requirements are granted licences under Ghana's cannabis framework.
"We are carefully reviewing all applications submitted under the various license categories. Those who fully satisfy the criteria will soon be issued their licenses to begin operations," he said.
Mr Twum-Barimah noted that NACOC remains focused on developing a properly regulated cannabis industry that complies with national laws while creating legitimate economic opportunities.
