  Ghana’s mining sector must go beyond citing billions of cedis in taxes, local purchases and community spending by demonstrating how these contributions improve lives and deliver enduring benefits. Ahmed Dasana Nantogmah, Chief Operating Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, made the call while opening the 2026 PR, Environment and Sustainability Seminar in Kumasi.

People want evidence. Our task is not simply to tell people what mining creates; our task is to show it,” he said, calling on industry communicators to move “from publicity to proof.” He pointed to the industry’s significant contribution to Ghana’s economy in 2025: over GH¢24.2 billion in fiscal revenue; roughly US$7 billion spent domestically, including about US$4.2 billion paid to local suppliers; and US$88.6 million invested dir...

The disclosure was contained in a joint statement by the Ministry of Works, Housing and Water Resources and the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs to mark World Habitat Day 2026, celebrated under the theme, “Adequate Housing for All.” The two ministries attributed the housing challenge to high land prices, rising construction and infrastructure costs, as well as limited access to affordable housing finance. These realities underscore the need for deliberate interventions to make housing more accessible and affordable to all,” the ministries stated. Mortgage support To improve access to...
