The son of a former President of Ghana (ceremonial 1969 - 1972), was born in Nima, a suburb of Accra. Nima is a residential town in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The town is popular because of its market - the Nima market

The Ghana summit focuses on Housing and Tourism which sees Nima as a destination among hundreds. It has a large number of migrant workers from rural Ghana & neighbouring countries as they find it a visible tourist place to visit and appreciated the cultural & religious diversity of the community. Nima is a prime example that people of numerous nationalities can actually co-exist in peace.

"We are honoured and excited that the new President team has approved and confirmed his attendance to the summit," said Alistair Soyode, Executive Director Europe's and UK's first ethnic media company BEN Television. "He is a pan-African leader with a pedigree to rebuild Africa's story positively and promote the alternative to job creation and wealth for the development of Ghana and Africa at large."

The Ghana Tourism Board executive said the event will help bolstered its hospitality industry to innovation and creative packages to stimulate more Diaspora engagement and international stakeholders' participations.

The supporting organisers believe the investment summit will capitalizes on a wave of interest and policies to open up Ghana for business offered by the new administration of President Nana. Ghana's Rehoboth and Kouttam property companies and Africa Regent Hotel are already showing an interest in places where their services and strategic business can bring value towards the development and investment into Ghana Diaspora market and community.
