Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Mr Alex Apau Dadey, has called for a fundamental shift in how public-private partnerships are approached in Ghana and across Africa.<\/b><\/p>\n

He urged stakeholders to prioritise value creation over short-term gains.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Kwahu Business Forum, Mr Dadey emphasised that sustainable economic growth on the continent would depend not merely on the expansion of private enterprises, but on the adoption of responsible business practices anchored on good corporate governance, responsible corporate citizenship, and long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the private sector works with government, the question should not be: \u2018How much can we take?\u201d The question should be: \u201cHow much value can we create together?\u201d That is the difference between a contractor and a corporate citizen. And Ghana needs more corporate citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drawing from KGL Group\u2019s model of business, he highlighted that corporate citizenship must be viewed not as a peripheral activity, but as a core business strategy\u2014one that ensures sustainability, builds public confidence, and strengthens institutional resilience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn emerging markets such as Ghana, he stressed, trust is not an abstract concept, but a critical economic asset that underpins long-term success.<\/p>\n

Mr Dadey underscored the need to redefine public-private partnerships, noting that genuine collaboration must deliver measurable outcomes, improved service delivery, and sustained value for both the state and citizens.<\/p>\n

Anything short of this, he cautioned, risks undermining public trust and weakening the very systems such partnerships are intended to strengthen.<\/p>\n

He also called for a deliberate shift in how African businesses were built, urging leaders to move beyond personality-driven enterprises towards systems, structures, and institutions that could endure beyond their founders.<\/p>\n

According to him, the true test of a business is not its immediate success, but its ability to outlive its founders, adapt over time, and continue to serve society.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Africa is serious about building business champions, we must move from personality to process, charisma to governance. The real test of a great African business is this: Can the business outlive the founder, outgrow the founder, and out-serve the founder?<\/p>\n

Addressing policymakers, Mr. Dadey highlighted the importance of creating an enabling environment that supports credible local businesses through fairness, policy consistency, and transparency.<\/p>\n

He noted that sustainable national development was best achieved when indigenous enterprises were empowered to grow, compete, and reinvest with confidence.<\/p>\n

To fellow business leaders, he delivered a strong call to action\u2014emphasising discipline, accountability, and ethical conduct as non-negotiable pillars for building trust and credibility.<\/p>\n

He urged the private sector to align ambition with responsibility by investing in governance, respecting regulatory frameworks, and contributing meaningfully to the communities in which they operate.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dadey also challenged stakeholders to move beyond conversations and commit to building institutions that would drive long-term national progress.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that the future of Africa\u2019s business in the future could be defined not by companies that merely generated profit, but by those that built trust, created value, and contributed meaningfully to society.<\/p>\n
