The government has expressed its readiness to deepen collaboration with Zoomlion Ghana Limited to make environmental cleanliness, climate resilience, innovation, and sustainable job creation an everyday reality for Ghanaians.

The Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Hon. Ibrahim Ahmed, made this pronnouncement on Friday, December 12, as the Guest of Honour at the climax of the Jospong Annual Thanksgiving Service 2025, at its head office at Adjirigarnor, Accra.

“The government is ready to deepen its partnership with Zoomlion Ghana Limited and by extension the Jospong Group’s subsidiaries to drive a Ghana where cleanliness, resilience and innovation and job creation become everyday reality and not a distant aspiration,” Mr. Ibrahim declared.

He noted that this partnership was strategic, as Zoomlion’s work was essential to key national goals: improving local services, creating sustainable jobs for young people, safeguarding environmental health, strengthening decentralisation, and ensuring sustainable development.

He affirmed the government’s commitment to “deepen this partnership with the Jospong Group and Zoomlion,” highlighting the critical role of the private sector in national development, particularly in environmental sanitation and waste management.

He placed Zoomlion and Jospong Group’s growth in a historic context, saying, “The first wave was Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s liberation efforts across the continent.

“The second wave was when Ghanaian Black Stars conquered African football, adding that the third wave is Zoomlion’s expansion across Africa, has become another historic symbol of Ghana’s global influence,” he noted.

A Partnership with Proven Results

Mr. Ibrahim highlighted that the existing public-private partnership was a model of success, noting that during an official sanitation benchmarking trip to South Korea, “only two African countries impressed the Koreans: Ghana and Morocco.”

He attributed this recognition to the “36 completed composting, recycling, and waste treatment plants, the largest sanitation infrastructure in West Africa,” developed through the collaboration under Zoomlion’s scope.

He revealed that Zoomlion’s waste management infrastructure was pivotal in the United Nations adjudging Ghana as the “Sanitation and Waste Management Hub for West Africa” in 2025.
