Businessman and entrepreneur Dr.
Kofi Amoah, popularly known as Citizen Kofi, has urged Ghana's leadership to take bold steps toward renegotiating its relationships with development partners to reset the country's economy.
Dr.
Amoah suggested that it is time for Ghana to demand fair compensation for its abundant natural resources, such as oil, gold, bauxite, and lithium, which have benefited international partners for decades. "Can Ghana ask for a measly investment or forward payment of $100 to $150 billion from "our development partners" in oil, gold, bauxite, lithium etc." In a social media post on January 23, 2025, he pointed out that despite Ghana's valuable contributions to the global economy through its resources, development partners have not shown the same level of commitment to providing the country with meaningful assistance.
