We will revive VALCO, nobody can stop it – Armah Buah declares

The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, has acknowledged the critical role the Volta Aluminium Company Limited (VALCO) can play in transforming Ghana's economy once it is fully revived.

Responding to concerns raised by some employees that the company was on the government's radar for privatisation, the sector Minister described the claims as a figment of people's imagination and deliberate falsehoods fabricated by a few selfish individuals to derail the government's efforts to rebuild what he described as Ghana's industrial powerhouse.

Addressing hundreds of employees during a working to the company last Thursday 30th July, 2026, to familiarise himself with its operations, the Minister dismissed speculation that the administration of President John Dramani Mahama intended to auction or privatise VALCO.
