The Japanese-based global vehicle manufacturer would also make Ghana its hub for sales and marketing in West Africa.
These announcements were made on Tuesday in Accra, the capital of Ghana, by Nissan Group of Africa managing director Mike Whitfield, who is also managing director of Nissan South Africa, and Ghana's Minister of Trade and Industry Alan Kyerematen.
The agreement builds on Nissan's investment in Nigeria where the company in 2013 became the first major automaker to assemble cars when the Renault-Nissan alliance and west African conglomerate Stallion Group jointly launched a vehicle assembly operation.
Vehicle sales in Ghana have been growing steadily at an annual rate of about 10 percent, with about 9150 vehicles sold a year.
