In what could be described as a shining testament to Ghanaian enterprise beyond borders, celebrated businessman Sir Sam Jonah has been spotlighted for his investment in Nigeria’s real estate sector, with his expansive River Park Estate development in Abuja receiving high-level commendation from Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During a working visit to Abuja, Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, paid a courtesy visit to the estate, describing the project as a “magnificent 501 Hectares River Park Estate owned by the celebrated Ghanaian business mogul, Uncle Sam Jonah’s Jonah Capital and Mobus/Houses of Africa.”
According to the Minister, the tour formed part of government’s renewed focus on Economic Diplomacy — an initiative aimed at supporting Ghanaian investments across the globe.
“In pursuit of our renewed focus on Economic Diplomacy, I made time during my working visit to Abuja yesterday to tour an impressive Ghanaian investment in Nigeria,” he noted in a Facebook post.
The River Park Estate, a joint venture between Jonah Capital and Mobus/Houses of Africa, stands as a bold representation of Ghana’s growing economic presence in West Africa’s largest economy.

The project is among the largest private real estate ventures in Nigeria by a Ghanaian entity, blending modern architecture with large-scale infrastructure and community planning.
As the company looks to deepen its footprint in Nigeria amidst evolving regulatory and business environments, the Minister pledged diplomatic support to ensure their continued success. “As the company expands and seeks to navigate local challenges, I have tasked our diplomatic mission in Abuja to offer all the support available under our Economic Diplomacy Blueprint.”
He extended gratitude to the leadership of the project, saying, “I am grateful to Mobus/Houses of Africa CEO, Kojo Ansah Mensah and his dynamic team for their incredible hospitality.”
The Minister used the occasion to reaffirm the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s commitment to backing Ghanaian businesses overseas under a potential future government. “President Mahama’s government shall be deliberate in extending diplomatic assistance to all Ghanaian businesses and brands as we seek to increase our economic footprints across the world.”
Encouraging the next generation of Ghanaian entrepreneurs, Mr. Ablakwa urged them to leverage the tools and networks provided by the Foreign Ministry to go global. “I urge all Ghanaian businesses, particularly young entrepreneurs, to take advantage of our Economic Diplomacy tools to establish their presence beyond our borders. Your Foreign Ministry is always ready to facilitate and help make your vision a reality — let’s create more Ghanaian international brands.”
Sir Sam Jonah, a globally respected figure in business and governance, continues to inspire Ghana’s private sector with his ventures across Africa. With River Park Estate now gaining diplomatic attention, it is expected that more Ghanaian businesses may be emboldened to explore regional markets.
