The Ghanaian diaspora in the United States gathered at the Embassy of Ghana in Washington, D.C., on January 22, 2025, for the launch of the Diaspora Property Expo 2025.
The event, held under the theme “Gateway to Ghana: Unveiling Opportunities for Global Diaspora Investors,” aimed to introduce the Diaspora Property Expo 2025 as a platform designed to facilitate property investment opportunities for Ghanaians abroad.
In his presentation, Daasebre Kwebu Ewusi VII, Omanhen of the Abeadze Traditional Area, Mankessim, emphasized the importance of a hassle-free approach to investing in landed property in Ghana.
The chief, who also serves as the Board Chairman for the Diaspora Property Expo and Nkunim Diaspora City, stated, “We are gathered today at the Ghana Embassy in Washington, D.C., to officially launch the Diaspora Property Expo, which will take place from March 21 to 23, 2025, at the World Trade Center in Philadelphia.
This expo, as many of you already know, is an event of critical importance not only for the development of real estate in Ghana but also for enhancing the bond between Ghanaians abroad and their homeland. It is an opportunity for our diaspora communities to invest in their own future and in the future of Ghana.”
He also outlined several key strategies for navigating the complexities of the market, including:
- Due diligence: Conducting comprehensive research on property developers, legal frameworks, and market trends.
- Engaging trusted intermediaries: Utilizing the services of reputable real estate agents and legal professionals to ensure transparency and safeguard investments.
- Understanding local regulations: Familiarizing oneself with relevant laws and regulations regarding property ownership and transactions in Ghana.
Daasebre Ewusi VII seized the opportunity to thank the event organizers, particularly Diaspora Property Investment Limited, and its directors Verus Nartey, Sidney Justin Tehoda, and Meshack Okai, for leading this remarkable initiative.
He also congratulated His Excellency John Dramani Mahama on his victory in the 2024 elections.
“I would like to take a moment to congratulate His Excellency John Dramani Mahama on his recent victory in the presidential polls. This is a victory for Ghana and for all Ghanaians, both at home and abroad. His leadership offers us a unique opportunity to reset our economy and create a favorable environment for global businesses to invest in Ghana,” Daasebre Ewusi VII stated.
