British High Commissioner to woo UK investors for Ghana

Accra, Aug. 13, GNA - Dr Nicholas Westcott, British High Commissioner, on Friday discussed with government how best development partners from the UK can help facilitate private sector participation in Ghana's development.

This came up when he paid a courtesy call on Mr Alban S.K. Bagbin, Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing in Accra.

The visit was to discuss issues of mutual interest in the Water Resources, Works and Housing Ministry with respect to infrastructure development.

Briefing the Ghana News Agency after the meeting, Mr Bagbin said he used the opportunity to brief the Commissioner on the approval of the STX housing project, which was recently approved by Parliament to construct houses for the security services.

Mr Bagbin said a delegation of reputable UK investors would visit the country in August for amicable dialogue on the developmental projects.
