The new Bank of Ghana building, at 22 floors, plus 3 floors below, is the tallest office building in Ghana. It is one of the most impressive financial houses in the whole of Africa. The design is ageless and the feel majestically classy. The cost per square foot is cheaper that the average in Ghana and internationally.

It is one of the most impressive financial houses in the whole of Africa. The design is ageless and the feel majestically classy. The cost per square foot is cheaper that the average in Ghana and internationally.
We must celebrate it for many reasons. First, for the leadership that had the courage and foresight to take that bold decision to make it happen. Governor Addison, Ayekoo! Beyond that, for me, key among the things to celebrate is that it was designed and engineered by a Ghanaian, Sir David Adjaye (Adjaye & Associates), and built by a Ghanaian, Kwaku Bediako (Goldkey).
When you see such a magnificent edifice which has immediately become one of the iconic landmark buildings to define a city, a city now described as the commercial capital of Africa because of AfCFTA, the foremost person to celebrate is the architect - the creator of the masterpiece. Please join me salute David Adjaye!
Let us continue to believe in ourselves. The quality of the construction is also top notch. Goldkey has delivered on a project which ordinarily would have been won and awarded to a foreign company. When I see the courage with which this government has awarded major civil works contracts, such as the Tema Motorway, to 100% Ghanaian-owned companies, like Maripoma, it gives me joy and hope.
More and more Ghanaian companies that are deliberately supported to grow, which also are determined not to compromise on quality, are now becoming multinationals, winning big contracts within Africa's single market and beyond. This is only the beginning. Believe in Ghana.
