The Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA) has advocated for a more equitable distribution of investment across Ghana, specifically targeting the northern regions to reap greater economic benefits. This call was made during the Northern Regional Investment Roadshow held in Tamale, aimed at highlighting investment opportunities and fostering discussions on sustainable growth.
Present at the event were government officials, traditional leaders, investors, development partners, and other stakeholders. Razak Baba, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GIPA, reported that Ghana had attracted approximately GH¢82 billion in foreign investment from 1994 to 2025, yet only 1.4 percent of this total was directed towards the northern regions.
Baba emphasized that a fairer distribution of investment could generate more business prospects and foster economic advancement in northern Ghana. Dr. Emmanuel Abeer-Inga, the Chief Executive Officer of the Northern Development Authority (NDA), urged the government to establish policies and programs that would generate investment opportunities for individuals in the five northern regions.
He expressed confidence that the completion of the Big Push projects and other infrastructure initiatives across the regions would attract more investors. Dr. Abeer-Inga also stressed the importance of increased investment in irrigation and climate-resilient agriculture to bolster sustainable agricultural production.
