THE MEMBER of Parliament for Salaga-South, Hon. Hajia Zuwera Mohammed , has joined influential leaders at the Invest Africa Forum in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in a bold move to attract investment and development opportunities to her constituency.
The high-level forum, themed “Shared Markets. Shared Future,” brought together over 500 key figures from government, business, and finance to deepen economic ties between Africa and the UAE. It also showcased Africa’s rising profile as a major investment destination.
According to forum highlights, the UAE has become Africa’s largest foreign investor, committing over 110 billion between 2019 and 2023. A significant portion—72 billion—has gone into renewable energy, with additional focus on sectors like green hydrogen, smart infrastructure, and agribusiness.
Notable announcements included ADNOC/XRG’s investment in Mozambique’s Rovuma Basin and a $1.1 billion deal by IHC/IRH to acquire Mopani Copper Mines in Zambia.
At the event, Hon. Zuwera Mohammed held strategic engagements with potential investors, pitching Salaga-South’s agricultural potential as a gateway for agribusiness growth. She stressed that with the right investment, the constituency could become a key player in Ghana’s agricultural value chain, improving livelihoods and creating jobs.
Her participation in the Dubai forum follows similar engagements at platforms like the OIC Investment Forum in Africa. It signals a proactive approach to linking Salaga-South with international investment networks that can help drive infrastructure, agribusiness, and sustainable development in the area.
