Background- 

Ghanaian entrepreneur Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu is leading one of the country’s boldest private sector development pushes, with his Afro-Arab Group rolling out housing and green transport projects designed to change communities across Ghana.

Ambassador Amadu started the company as a small import and export venture back in 2007. Since then, he has grown it into a wide-reaching conglomerate covering real estate, finance, transportation, tourism, microfinance and community development, with him serving as Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The Group’s largest housing effort seeks to construct nearly 200,000 affordable homes across Ghana. This long-term venture is designed to narrow the housing shortage, generate employment.

Ambassador Amadu said a nation grows stronger when every hardworking family can dream of owning a decent home while earning a dignified living.

Afro-Arab Group is also widening access to finance through microfinance programmes built for entrepreneurs, women-led businesses and small firms that often struggle to get capital.

The Group’s Work and Pay Electric Vehicle Programme marks another major push, putting roughly 1,000 electric vehicles on the road while opening up thousands of jobs and pushing Ghana further toward cleaner transport.

Through the Yaa Salam Opportunity Center, Ambassador Amadu has built a space offering mentorship, education and skills training for young people living in inner-city and Zongo communities.

His work has won him recognition at home and abroad for building businesses and lifting up young people, and it has made Afro-Arab Group one of Ghana’s top homegrown success stories.
