Gold bars
The Founding and Managing Partner of the Songhai Group, Dr Ohene Aku Kwapong, has likened Ghana’s status in the gold mining industry to a ‘rent collector’ who would soon be out of business if it does not take steps to monetise its gold.
He indicated that gold is a non-renewable resource, which can get exhausted at any point in time, hence the need to invest the proceeds we derive from it to create more wealth for the country.
Dr Kwapong was speaking at the Public Forum on Monetisation of Mineral Royalties organised in Accra yesterday on Zoom.
