IMANI Africa's Vice President, Bright Simons, has raised urgent concerns about the disputed ownership of Ghana's Black Volta Gold Project, spotlighting alleged irregularities in the $100 million acquisition by Engineers & Planners (E&P).
During a hard-hitting appearance on JoyNews' Newsfile, Simons dissected the escalating saga, revealing how the deal-publicly celebrated by E&P-collides with Azumah Resources' claim that the agreement was terminated in December 2024 due to unpaid obligations.
Simons highlighted troubling political connections, including E&P's ties to Ghana's presidency and the ECOWAS Bank's (EBID) involvement despite financing disputes.
He also questioned the silence of regulators like the Minerals Commission, warning that the controversy risks damaging Ghana's mining investment credibility.
