The Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Mr Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has inaugurated an Investor Selection Committee to spearhead efforts toward modernising the Volta Aluminium Company Limited (VALCO) and advancing plans for the establishment of Ghana’s first alumina refinery.

The Committee, constituted by the Ministry in collaboration with the Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC), is tasked with assessing investment proposals and recommending a strategic partner with the technical and financial capacity to drive a fully modern and competitive aluminium industry.

According to the Minister, the move marks a significant step toward revitalising the aluminium value chain and positioning the sector as a major contributor to Ghana’s industrial transformation and long-term economic growth.
