The Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC) has refuted claims that the Government of Ghana intends to grant bauxite concessions in Nyinahin to Mr Ibrahim Mahama, brother of President John Dramani Mahama.
A statement issued by the corporation said such a plan doesn’t exist.
It clarified that “Under the vision of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama to reposition Ghana to fully benefit from its natural resources, approval was given for GIADEC to hold leases over all known bauxite reserves in the country.
This was done to give GIADEC a strong footing to carry out its mandate and to attract the right investments and partnerships for the sector.”
The statement added, “In line with this executive approval, in June 2025, GIADEC obtained six (6) mining leases over bauxite concessions, including the Nyinahin concessions. These leases are currently before Parliament for ratification.
GIADEC wishes to emphasise that, under the new policy of the government, bauxite concessions shall remain with GIADEC as the leaseholder, and efforts are under way to ensure that this remains the case even long after the President’s tenure ends.”
