The Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF), Justina Nelson, has embarked on a familiarisation tour of selected quarry sites as part of efforts to deepen engagement and strengthen oversight within Ghana’s quarry industry.
The visit, held on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, forms part of MIIF’s 2026 stakeholder outreach strategy.
It enabled the Fund’s leadership to assess operational performance, regulatory compliance, and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards across key sites.
The delegation toured Regimanuel Concrete Products Limited in Ablekuma, as well as Massey Stone Ghana Limited and Eastern Quarries Limited at Shai Hills.
Mrs Nelson was accompanied by MIIF’s Chief Technical Officer, Mr Kwabena Barning; Acting Head of Technical and Operations, Nana Abaka Tandor; and other senior officials.
Representatives of the Commercial Quarry Operators Association, including Chairman Ebenezer Mireku and Secretary Georgina Dziwornu, joined the engagements, providing operators with an opportunity to present their concerns and perspectives directly to the Fund’s leadership.
Speaking to the media after the tour, Mrs Nelson revealed that plans are underway to establish an intergovernmental task force to tackle persistent encroachment and compliance challenges affecting quarry operators nationwide.
She explained that the proposed task force will work closely with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Minerals Commission to intensify field monitoring, strengthen regulatory enforcement, and enhance royalty mobilisation.
The initiative will also involve closer collaboration with Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) to curb encroachment on legally acquired concessions and safeguard investments in the sector.
Mrs Nelson reaffirmed MIIF’s commitment to positioning itself as a proactive long-term investment partner within Ghana’s quarry and broader mining value chain.
