Mobilize Capital for Ghana’s and Africa’s Mineral Endowment – Hon. Buah to Africa Finance Corporation
On the sidelines of the ongoing Investing in Africa Mining Indaba 2026, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah(MP) has held a strategic meeting with Mr. Samaila Zubairu, President and CEO of the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), to advance collaboration in developing Ghana’s mineral sector and mobilizing capital to unlock Africa’s long-term mineral potential.
During the meeting, discussions centered on accelerating priority projects in bauxite, gold, and iron ore, with a focus on value addition, project financing, and de-risking large-scale investments. Minister Buah emphasized Ghana’s industrialization agenda and stressed the need to align financing, infrastructure, and policy to maximize the value derived from the nation’s mineral resources.
The conversations also explored broader continental cooperation. Hon. Buah proposed a jointly hosted ministerial convening in Ghana, aimed at policy harmonization, enhanced cross-border collaboration, and a united African strategy for mineral development. The event would bring together African ministers, development finance institutions, and key partners to align policies and mobilize capital toward sustainable and integrated mineral value chains across the continent.
