The Afro-Arab Group of Companies has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Greater Accra Chapter of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI) aimed at expanding access to electric vehicles for businesses while promoting environmentally friendly transport solutions.
The agreement was signed on Wednesday, March 11, during the Chamber’s third Executive Business Meeting, held as part of activities marking Ghana Month under the theme “Ghana Month Business Showcase”.
The meeting brought together entrepreneurs, business executives and industry stakeholders to discuss ways of strengthening collaboration within the private sector and creating new opportunities for economic growth.
Speaking at the event, the Greater Accra Chapter Chairman of the Chamber commended the founder and president of the Afro-Arab Group, Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, for championing the introduction of electric vehicles as part of efforts to promote sustainable mobility in Ghana.
He said the company’s initiatives, including its Work and Pay model, were helping to address youth unemployment while supporting the transition to cleaner transportation systems.
“Afro-Arab Group has demonstrated strong leadership in promoting green mobility while also addressing youth unemployment. Their Work and Pay model is a practical solution that empowers young people to earn a living while owning productive assets,” he said.
In his remarks, Ambassador Amadu expressed appreciation to the Chamber for the partnership and stressed the importance of stronger collaboration among private sector institutions in advancing national development.
He explained that the agreement would allow members of the Chamber to acquire electric vehicles through the Afro-Arab Group’s flexible financing arrangement.
“This partnership will allow members of the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry to access electric vehicles and pay over a 36-month period without interest. It is part of our commitment to supporting businesses while promoting environmentally friendly transportation,” he stated.
According to him, the initiative aligns with government efforts to encourage the use of clean energy and sustainable transport solutions across the country.
He added that the partnership is expected to strengthen business cooperation while accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles within Ghana’s commercial sector.
