The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, Ahmed Dasana Nantogmah, on Thursday paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Commission, Martin Kwaku Ayisi, and his Deputy, Isaac Tandoh, as part of efforts to deepen collaboration between the two leading institutions in Ghana’s mining industry.
The meeting, held at the Minerals Commission’s office in Accra, focused on enhancing institutional cooperation and aligning strategies to promote sustainable and inclusive growth in the sector.
The two sides discussed key areas of mutual interest, including the need for regular strategic engagements, the promotion of local content across the mining value chain, and increasing state participation in the extractive sector.
Importantly, both parties clarified that while the state’s role in the sector could be strengthened, this would not translate into nationalization—a stance meant to preserve investor confidence while supporting Ghanaian equity participation.
Ayisi welcomed the visit and expressed the Commission’s readiness to work closely with the Chamber in pursuit of shared goals.
He noted that close coordination between regulators and industry players was essential for building a resilient and competitive mining sector.
In his remarks, Nantogmah thanked the Commission’s leadership for the warm reception and reiterated the Chamber’s commitment to fostering a strong and constructive relationship with the Minerals Commission.
He emphasized the Chamber’s continued dedication to working with public institutions to shape a mining environment that balances profitability with national development priorities.
It has been a great and beautiful collaboration between minerals commisson and chamber of mines all time. I strongly believe that this two companies will continue to work powerfully becos Mr. Ayisi is visionary Leader. Amen
