Mr. Ablakwa affirmed that the Sheikh, a member of Qatar’s royal family, has pledged investments in key projects prioritized by President John Dramani Mahama, including a new city, rail infrastructure, a gold refinery, and healthcare facilities.
The investments are expected to boost Ghana’s economic growth and development.
