Africa’s future will not be built by spectators. It will be built by owners.

For too long, our systems have trained young people to work for wealth, but not to own it. While Africa remains rich in resources, many Africans remain disconnected from the power of investing, ownership, and economic participation.

The Ghana Investment Tour(GIT) was born to change that which brought to you by CREATE Hub Ghana In collaboration with University of Ghana Students’ Representative Council(UG-SRC)

This maiden edition is the beginning of a movement to educate, equip, and awaken a generation of financially conscious Africans who understand that true economic freedom comes through ownership; ownership of businesses, land, agriculture, stocks, innovation, and African value systems.

On 26th June at 9AM, we gather at the University of Ghana to start a conversation that can reshape the future of our continent.

If you are a student, entrepreneur, creative, innovator, or young professional who believes Africa’s wealth should also belong to Africans, then this is for you.

A new generation must rise; one that doesn’t just consume Africa, but builds, invests in, and owns Africa.

Read this carefully. Your viewpoints are welcome too.

This government has good plans for us. I may not go too deep into that for now, but follow me closely: if your party is not in power, do not sit back hoping that things go badly just to validate your prophecy or assumptions about the government’s so-called incompetence.

I use the word “incompetence” not because they necessarily are incompetent, but because partisanship often makes the ruling party appear that way in the eyes of opponents. That perception is usually emotional, not factual.

At the end of the day, there must be a standard for measurement. There must be key performance indicators and real outcomes that can be assessed. You are a citizen first before you are a member of any political party. We need to think first at the citizen level so we can work together for the best possible outcomes.

If we become driven only by pessimism, then we will end up with a large group of people, possibly close to 50%, who indirectly do not want the country to do well simply because their party is not in power. That is a serious gap in our national thinking, and it needs to be discussed.

History has shown in many democracies that when citizens become more loyal to party victory than national progress, development suffers. Nations move forward faster when people hold governments accountable with facts, while still wishing the country well regardless of who is in office.

Sometimes we anticipate animosity between them, which explains our frustration or disappointment when we observe them displaying affection towards one another.

Nevertheless, beyond the smiles, they will be served accordingly. It is a matter of time.

H.E. John Dramani Mahama will not pass by Chairman Wontumi without throwing some gang signs as a human being. However, when the time comes for justice, we render to Caesar what is rightfully his.

Facts about Ghana’s new Free Visas for Africans Policy as announced by President Mahama:

1) Africans will not pay visa fees;

2) Not paying visa fees does not mean you will not go through visa screening. Africans will still have to go through a visa application process like everyone else just that theirs would be gratis;

3) Government is also introducing an e-Visa policy next month;

4) The Free Visa for Africans is a component of the e-Visa initiative;

5) All applicants including Africans will have to apply for visas through the e-Visa platform;

6) The novel e-Visa system shall be linked to Ghana’s newly established API-PNR system and other international crime database which allows our consular officers to check background of applicants and provide appropriate vetting to ensure Ghana’s security is not compromised;

7) People with criminal or deemed unsatisfactory records will not be admitted into Ghana;

8) Not paying visa fees is not the same as automatic entry into Ghana. There shall be no automatic and unvetted entries.

9) Adequate investments have been made by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, the Interior and Transport to ensure a robust and technologically advanced architecture is in place;

10) For clarity, though former President Nana Akufo-Addo announced a Free Visa for Africans policy in 2024, that could not commence because the mechanisms and security safeguards had not yet been put in place. As President Mahama indicated yesterday, Ghana is now ready to launch an e-Visa platform for all applicants across the world and a Free Visa for Africans policy from Africa Day which is May 25, 2026 fully anchored on appropriate security and technological frameworks.

May I wish you all a happy Easter.

For God, Country and Continent.

SCRIPT

Let’s address a concern surrounding my previous post;

People hear “borderless Africa” and immediately think:
“Does this mean anyone can just walk in and out? What about security?”

That fear is understandable. But it is based on a misunderstanding of what “borderless” actually means.

A borderless Africa does not mean no control but It means smarter, coordinated control.

Right now, Africa is highly fragmented. Each country operates its own systems, its own databases, its own border controls. And ironically, that fragmentation is what creates security gaps.

From the records, criminal networks don’t respect borders but our security systems are still stuck within them.

So what happens?

Information doesn’t flow.
Data isn’t shared.
And bad actors exploit those blind spots.

Now compare that to an integrated system 🤷‍♂️

A truly borderless Africa would rely on:
shared biometric identification
interoperable databases
coordinated intelligence across countries

That means if someone is flagged in one country, they are flagged across the continent. That is stronger security brooo, not weaker!!!!!

Let’s also be clear about what this policy is trying to achieve.

Africa has over 1.5 billion people, yet we operate like dozens of small, disconnected markets. That limits trade, limits innovation, and limits opportunity.

If a Ghanaian entrepreneur finds it easier to do business in Europe than in Africa, that’s a structural problem!

Making movement easier is how you unlock:
intra-African trade
tourism
job creation
and continental businesses

You think security concerns weren’t considered before President Mahama decided to make this effective?

This is how you build economic power. And we’ve already seen this model work elsewhere. The European Union allows free movement across countries, yet maintains strong security through shared systems.

So the question is not: “Will borderless Africa reduce security?” The real question is: “Can Africa afford to remain fragmented in a world that is scaling?”

Because fragmentation is not safety. Fragmentation is vulnerability. So when we do the Integration right, is we gain some strength.

You can sign to make Africa Borderless as Ghana has started: https://t.co/oDI7Yr9jvl

I hope it’s understandable now?

@S_OkudzetoAblak

[SANTA N. ELIJAH @ceosanta]

Good Question!

that argument you’re raising sounds logical on the surface, but it misses how economic systems actually scale.

first, integration is not about handing “the whole continent” to one set of leaders to manage. Africa is not becoming a single government. what is being built is a single market, not a single state.

the EU is a clear example. individual countries still run their own affairs, yet they benefit from free movement, larger markets and coordinated systems. that scale is exactly what makes their economies stronger.

second, many of the challenges African countries face today are because of fragmentation, not despite it. small, disconnected markets limit growth, reduce competitiveness and make it harder for governments to deliver results. integration expands the opportunity base.

third, integration actually improves governance when done right. shared systems, digital identity, cross-border data and coordinated standards reduce loopholes and increase accountability. fragmentation is what criminals and inefficiencies thrive on!!!!

so the real question is not whether leaders can manage a continent. it’s whether Africa can afford to remain divided while the rest of the world operates at scale.

history shows clearly: “regions that integrate grow faster than those that remain fragmented.”

You get?

@alberto_bright @S_OkudzetoAblak You’re thinking of foreign investors?

You’re not aware we’re seeking Economic Independence right?

Does Burkina Faso get foreign aid? Are they thriving or not?

[SANTA N. ELIJAH @ceosanta]

The truth is that the borders that separate us today were not designed for our prosperity!

In 1884, at the Berlin Conference, European powers sat in a room and partitioned Africa with rulers and ink, without a single African present!

Lines were drawn across rivers, across communities, across cultures, and across trade routes that had existed for centuries. Those borders were built for extraction and control, not for the flourishing of African people.

[SANTA N. ELIJAH @ceosanta]

People don’t seem to understand why the President is making Ghana borderless, here’s why:

This is actually an economic strategy!

Did you know, it’s easier for a Ghanaian entrepreneur to trade with Europe than with Africa? that makes no sense for a continent of 1.5 billion people. Visas, and weak connectivity are what keep African businesses small.

Removing visa barriers is how you unlock scale!

You allow entrepreneurs to explore markets freely, talent to move where it’s needed, and ideas to spread faster across borders and that is how continental businesses are built.

@AfCFTA gives us the framework, but integration only becomes real when movement becomes easy. this policy is one of the most practical steps toward that reality.

A borderless Africa is not about removing nations but it is about strengthening them through scale, trade and opportunity.

This is how we move from speeches about Pan-Africanism to actually building it.

this is how Africa grows.

Thank you @S_OkudzetoAblak and @JDMahama

For God, and Country!

[SANTA N. ELIJAH @ceosanta]

Sir, Making Africa Borderless doesn’t mean taking of security or weakening it. It rather implies that the stress it takes Africans to apply and get visa just to visit our neighboring countries will be alleviated.

And if you don’t know, fragmented border systems create gaps that criminals exploit. Integrated systems with shared databases and biometric identification can actually strengthen governance and improve security across the continent.

Do you think they didn’t factor security into the initiative?

Large countries like India and China manage populations comparable to Africa’s within unified economic spaces and their scale gives them enormous commercial strength. So Africa with a similar population size, has the same potential if it chooses integration over fragmentation.

That’s all!

[SANTA N. ELIJAH @ceosanta]

@mrzeal7 @S_OkudzetoAblak As far as we have rolled out, More doors will also be opened for us, it’s a matter of time. Have you heard of the Make Africa Borderless Initiative?
