Ghanaian business leader Sir Sam Jonah has disclosed that a significant real estate investment he made in Nigeria has been subjected to what he describes as “sustained harassment” by state agencies. He said Ghanaian workers at the project site had also experienced treatment similar to scenes of xenophobic attacks that have been condemned elsewhere on the continent. Sir Sam Jonah made the disclosure while delivering the keynote address at the Global Business Forum – Ghana Edition on Friday, August 28, 2026.
