The Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Mr. Alex Apau Dadey is set to deliver an address on “Public Private Partnership: A case study of Responsible Corporate Citizenship” at a programme organised by the University of Ghana Alumni Association in collaboration with the University of Ghana.
The address is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 6th November 2025 at Great Hall at exactly 5pm. The Programme will be chaired by Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana.
Mr. Dadey is expected to share insights from his significant and extensive rich experience in the private sector, highlighting the international best practices and strategies to strengthen the working relationship between African governments, public institutions, agencies and the private sector particularly within the Ghanaian context and business environment.
He is also to draw the comparisons between the progress and challenges of Public Private Partnership in Ghana, and the dynamic nature of the Public Private Partnership across Europe, United Kingdom, North America, Asia and the Middle East, offering perspectives and lessons that could potentially benefit Ghana.
As a respected and renowned global business leader, Mr. Dadey’s contributions to the subject matter of Public Private Partnership are expected to resonate widely, particularly in light of the challenges facing indigenous businesspersons in the Ghanaian business environment especially the unnecessary agenda to undermine the growth of Ghanaian businesses who have been championing responsible corporate citizenship including payments of taxes to Government as well as genuinely undertaking corporate social responsibility(CSR) and corporate social investment(CSI) activities across the country in support of government’s efforts to develop Ghana.
Mr Dadey strongly believe that, if government ensures the successful implementation of Article 36(2b & c) of the 1992 Constitution, it will lead to the strengthening of jobs and wealth creation in support of the Ghanaian economy as well as restore the greater participation of the private sector in the Ghanaian economy.
According to Article 36(2b & c), “the state shall, in particular, take all necessary steps to establish a sound and healthy economy whose underlying principles shall include affording ample opportunity for individuals initiative and creativity in economic activities and fostering an enabling environment for a pronounced role of the private sector in the economy; ensuring that individuals and the private sector bear their fair share of social and national responsibilities including responsibilities to contribute to the overall development of the Country.”
Mr Dadey over the years has proven beyond reasonable doubt that, Ghana can develop through a Public Private Partnership arrangements whereby governments are not supposed to bear the risks of investments but rather benefits from the PPP agreements.
The address by Mr Dadey on 6th November 2025 will serve as a call to action for African governments, business leaders, academia, policymakers, media, and the citizens to rally behind the concept of Public Private Partnership as one of the best model to develop Ghana and Africa especially PPP agreements just like NLA-KGL agreement whereby NLA bears no risks and no commitment of public funds to the project but only benefitting financially from the agreement with KGL.
KGL bears all the risks, liabilities, and losses yet obliged to pay NLA for just using the 5/90 lottery numbers drawn by NLA.
Meanwhile, Mr. Dadey was recently awarded by Forbes for being the Best in Africa for Corporate Leadership and Innovation.
