Volta Council of State member engages US investor over investment opportunities in the Region

Dr. Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple, a member of the Volta Council of State, recently met with American businessman and philanthropist John P. Rochon to explore investment opportunities in the Volta Region. The discussions also included the Chief Executive Officer of Catalyst Green LLC, Al Lewis, and focused on the region's potential in lithium exploration and other natural resources.

Dr. Kwamigah-Atokple emphasized his commitment to expanding his role on the Council of State beyond traditional advisory responsibilities, stating that public service should create economic transformation opportunities. He expressed particular interest in initiatives that add value to natural resources locally, rather than exporting them in their raw form.

Dr. Kwamigah-Atokple highlighted the Volta Region's significant economic potential and aimed to translate these resources into sustainable investments, productive industries, and employment opportunities for residents. He also praised Dr. Rochon's philanthropic work, noting his significant financial support for hospital projects in Malawi despite never visiting Africa.

Dr. Rochon, who has over four decades of experience in finance, business strategy, investment, marketing, and political strategy, is the founder of Richmont and the Rochon Family Office.
