Accra, Ghana - 09 March, 2025 - In a bid to bolster relations with its diaspora community, Ghana's Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, has met with Mr. Alex Dade, Executive Chairman of KGL Group, a leading Ghanaian conglomerate.

The meeting, held at Mr. Dade's office in Accra, aimed to explore avenues for meaningful diaspora engagement and identify opportunities for investment, education, healthcare, and the development of the Orange Economy.

During the meeting, Mr. Okyere Darko and Mr. Dade discussed strategies for harnessing the potential of the diaspora community to drive economic growth, improve education and healthcare outcomes, and promote cultural exchange. Mr. Okyere Darko praised Mr. Dade's pioneering role in promoting diaspora engagement in Ghana, affectionately referring to him as the "Father of Diaspora in Ghana".
