Samuel Abu Jinapor invites investment for Ghana’s integrated aluminium industry

Samuel Abu Jinapor, the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources of Ghana, has invited the investor community to fund Ghana’s integrated aluminium industry. He has appealed to the investor community to consider Ghana’s stable democracy, steady economy, and resilient democratic institutions for investing. 

On behalf of the Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Mr Jinapor said in a statement at the ongoing Fastmarkets Bauxite and Aluminium Conference on Wednesday, April 5, “Our commitment remains making Ghana the mining hub of Africa, and use mining as the impetus for sustainable development, and we will continue to engage relevant stakeholders for the benefit of the people of Ghana.”

The minister at the conference highlighted the success of Ghana Bauxite Company (GBC), Ghana Integrated Aluminum Development Corporation (GIADEC) and other opportunities to attract investments in these entities. 

Mr Jinapor said that GBC alone has an annual bauxite production capacity of over 5 million tonnes, enough to be an anchor of our integrated aluminium industry through strategic partnership and investment. 

A day ago, at a Downstream Aluminium Industry Workshop, Samuel Abu Jinapor revealed his anticipation that a comprehensive development of Ghanaian integrated aluminium industry would create around 2 million sustainable jobs and generate US$1 trillion of revenue for the country.
