Mahama Ayariga addressing the Moroccan Ambassador and her delegation
The Majority Leader of Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, has reaffirmed Ghana’s commitment to welcoming foreign investors willing to support the government’s vision of job creation and national development.
He made this statement while receiving a delegation of Moroccan businesses led by the Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil, on Monday, February 24, 2025. He described the visit as a testament to Morocco’s confidence in Ghana.
“We campaigned and won on a commitment to create jobs, build a strong economy, and improve the living conditions of our people. We recognize that we cannot achieve this alone. We need strong partners both domestic and international so whenever we see delegations like yours visiting, we are encouraged. There are many countries you could have chosen to explore for opportunities, yet you decided to come here. That decision is a mark of confidence in us and in our people,” he stated.
With the delegation comprising representatives from businesses across various sectors, the Majority Leader assured them that Ghana offers opportunities to meet the needs of every industry. He further noted that the country’s economic challenges present opportunities for businesses that can provide innovative solutions.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to facilitating collaboration between investors and key stakeholders, including Members of Parliament, whom he described as development advocates.
Additionally, he reiterated the government’s dedication to fostering an enabling business environment in Ghana.
“Rest assured, we are doing our best to create an environment where businesses can thrive a peaceful and democratic country that welcomes foreign investors, particularly fellow Africans. We want you to be part of our economic progress,” he emphasized.
He highlighted Ghana’s readiness to leverage the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to enhance accessibility for investors.
Her Excellency Imane Ouaadil, in response, expressed her gratitude to the Majority Leader for the warm reception and conveyed her hopes of fostering a strong working relationship between the two nations.
“We will certainly return to you as the Majority Leader, and I hope we will have some agreements signed. We may seek your assistance in passing these agreements through Parliament. In the meantime, whenever our delegation is in Ghana to conduct business or engage with stakeholders in the government and business sector, we would love to come and greet you. So, thank you once again for this opportunity,” she said.
The ambassador’s delegation included representatives from industries such as banking, mining, manufacturing, energy, and hospitality.
