Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has paid a working visit to the expansive River Park Estate in Abuja, Nigeria, a landmark 501-hectare real estate development spearheaded by Ghanaian business magnate, Sir Dr.
Sam Jonah and his investment firm, Jonah Capital, in partnership with Mobus Property and Houses for Africa.
The visit forms part of Ablakwa's three-day working trip to Nigeria aimed at strengthening bilateral ties and promoting Ghanaian businesses abroad under the government's Economic Diplomacy Blueprint.
Ablakwa was received on behalf of Jonah Capital by Mobus/Houses of Africa Nigeria CEO, Kojo Ansah Mensah, who extended a warm welcome on behalf of the project's Ghanaian founders - Sir Dr Sam Jonah, KBE, and Ehunabobrim Nana Prah Agyensaim VI, King of the Owirenkyi Kingdom In an address to the dignitaries and stakeholders present, the project's leadership highlighted the estate's significance as a monument to Ghana-Nigeria collaboration, dating back to 2007 when Sir Sam Jonah was appointed to Nigeria's Honorary Investment Advisory Council by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. "This is more than a real estate development," said Mensah. "River Park is a testament to African excellence, a fusion of Ghanaian capital, Nigerian engineering, and West African community spirit." Despite its success, River Park Estate has faced regulatory hurdles and misinformation campaigns.
