U.S. Treasury Secretary Visits Ghana
There are now plans to expand to four new sites in Ghana and to increase the Ghanaian workforce to over 1,000 people. As foreign investments like ACS show success, others are bound to follow, and I am optimistic that increasingly advanced services, such as software development, will thrive in Ghana and elsewhere in Africa.

In Ghana I visited a successful U.S. investment, called Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. ACS sells data processing services to insurance companies in the U.S. It opened its office there in 2000, and already it employs over 800 Ghanaians, paying an average of three times the average wage in Ghana. ~ Paul Oneill, Former U.S. Treasury Secretary, Washington, DC, November 7, 2002
