Ghana’s Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah (MP), has called on African nations to align domestic reforms with Pan-African objectives, stressing that the continent stands on the threshold of true integration, contingent on the collective will of all stakeholders.
Speaking at a policy forum during the ongoing Investing in Africa Mining Indaba 2026, Hon. Buah declared, “Despite our challenges, Africa stands on the threshold of true integration. Our success hinges on our collective will to align national reforms with continental goals, build institutions that transcend political cycles, and foster transparency that earns both investor confidence and citizen trust.”
He pointed to Ghana’s governance experience as a model for the continent, noting that integration is a marathon rather than a sprint. “Ghana’s journey proves that through good governance, a structured framework, and resilience, we can move from aspiration to achievement,” he said.
The Minister urged immediate systemic action, emphasizing that transparency and robust institutions are essential to turning aspirations into tangible results. “Let us build the systems today that make an integrated Africa not just a possibility, but an inevitability,” he added.
His remarks are expected to shape upcoming policy reforms aimed at strengthening African unity and boosting investor confidence, as leaders and stakeholders at the Indaba deliberate on the future of Africa’s mining sector and broader economic integration.
