According to him, Ghacem will never compromise on quality. He also added that Ghacem will train the block-makers on how to mould quality blocks for stronger structures in the country.

Nana Archer finally disclosed that Ghacem will advertise for the block-makers to ensure that customers know where to locate them for consistently quality blocks in the country.
