He said as he assumed this new role, “we are confident that his wealth of experience and extensive networks will be invaluable to GIPC’s work in catalyzing both domestic and foreign direct investment.

“We look forward to deepening our collaboration with the Centre under your leadership, forging pathways that benefit both Ghana and the broader Africa-U.S. business corridor,” he added.

Dr Opong-Fosu said, “I will like to express my gratitude to President Mahama for his confidence in my humble person and recognition of my dedication to foster economic opportunities and advance investments in Ghana.”
