I can tell you that the goodwill for Ghana among the various ECOWAS Heads of States gathered here is very massive and they are all hoping that Ghana will win the match against Uruguay”.At the special ECOWAS-Brazil Summit to be held on Saturday July 03, 2010, President Mills will present a Paper on “Development of Private Sector Enterprises in West Africa”.Source: Citifmonline.com/Ghana
