Over the years, Afro-Arab Properties has built a strong reputation as one of Ghana’s most trusted real estate brands, known for delivering quality and affordability without compromising environmental standards. The company has introduced a unique model that provides flexible, interest-free payment plans, allowing clients to pay for their homes over a period of up to five years.

Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, a visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist, has consistently led the Afro-Arab Group with a mission centered on sustainability, inclusion, and social impact. His leadership philosophy rests on the belief that real estate development must go hand-in-hand with environmental stewardship and community well-being. Through Afro-Arab Properties, he has championed a bold initiative to reduce Ghana’s housing deficit while contributing to the green transition within the real estate industry.
In line with this vision, the company has announced an ambitious target to build 200,000 housing units by 2050, each designed to integrate renewable energy technologies such as solar power, rainwater harvesting systems, and energy-efficient materials. These eco-conscious designs aim to reduce the carbon footprint of housing developments while promoting a culture of sustainability across Ghana’s urban and peri-urban areas.
The ACEACRES 2025 Summit was graced by notable figures, including Dr. Daniel McKorley, Executive Chairman of McDan Group, who served as Guest of Honour, and Prof. Ing. Appiah-Kubi, Dean of the Faculty of Technical Education at AAMUSTED, Kumasi, who delivered the keynote address.

In attendance were also five ambassadors representing Nigeria, Egypt, Turkey, South Africa, and Angola, alongside 48 expert speakers and nine moderators who led engaging panel discussions on the theme of sustainable development, technological advancement, and investment opportunities in Africa’s real estate sector.
Throughout the summit, participants shared insights on how private developers, policymakers, and investors can work together to address the continent’s housing challenges while embracing green technology and responsible building practices. Afro-Arab Properties was singled out as a shining example of how innovation can be used to balance affordability with environmental responsibility.
The award marks yet another milestone for Ambassador Salamu Amadu, who has received widespread recognition for his contributions to youth empowerment, entrepreneurship, and community development. His leadership of the Afro-Arab Group of Companies which spans real estate, construction, microfinance, and logistics—continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of Ghanaians, particularly those in underprivileged communities.
