The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has dropped plans to purchase land owned by the Department of Parks and Gardens in Accra for the construction of its main office. This decision came after a strong reaction from the public. The proposed deal would have seen GoldBod acquire about three acres of land for the purpose of building a new administrative headquarters and other related facilities.
GoldBod's CEO, Samuel Gyamfi, announced the withdrawal in a letter to the Director-General of the Department of Parks and Gardens on September 4, 2026. He stated that the proposal was to be withdrawn immediately and the matter closed. The initial offer sought to allocate around three acres from the Cantonments property to help GoldBod expand its administrative, technical, commercial, regulatory, and operational functions.
GoldBod planned to finance and build a new office for Parks and Gardens, along with other necessary facilities. Despite being seen as a win-win situation, the public's response led GoldBod to end the discussions on the deal. Gyamfi expressed gratitude to the Department of Parks and Gardens for their cooperation and requested that the issue be considered closed.
