The Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Mr Alex Apau Dadey, is set to deliver a public lecture on the theme “Public-Private Partnership: A Case Study of Responsible Corporate Citizenship” at the University of Ghana.
The event, organised by the University of Ghana Alumni Association in collaboration with the University, will take place today at the Great Hall, to be chaired by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo.
Mr Dadey is expected to share insights from his extensive experience in the private sector, focusing on international best practices and strategies for strengthening partnerships between governments, public institutions, and the private sector, particularly within the Ghanaian context.
He will compare the progress and challenges of Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in Ghana with models across Europe, the United Kingdom, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, offering lessons that could benefit Ghana’s economic development.
As a renowned global business leader, Mr Dadey’s remarks are expected to resonate widely, especially amid growing calls to empower indigenous businesses that promote responsible corporate citizenship through tax compliance, social responsibility, and corporate social investments.
Mr Dadey has consistently emphasised that effective implementation of Article 36(2b & c) of the 1992 Constitution—which calls for a sound economy driven by private sector initiative and shared social responsibility—can boost job and wealth creation while deepening private sector participation in national development.
According to Article 36(2b & c), “the state shall, in particular, take all necessary steps to establish a sound and healthy economy whose underlying principles shall include affording ample opportunity for individual initiative and creativity in economic activities and fostering an enabling environment for a pronounced role of the private sector in the economy; ensuring that individuals and the private sector bear their fair share of social and national responsibilities including responsibilities to contribute to the overall development of the Country.”
He has also championed the Public-Private Partnership model as a sustainable development approach, citing the NLA-KGL partnership as an example where the state bears no investment risk yet benefits financially, while KGL assumes all operational responsibilities.
Recently, Mr Dadey was honoured by Forbes as Africa’s Best in Corporate Leadership and Innovation, underscoring his commitment to advancing responsible entrepreneurship and partnerships for national growth.
