Renowned indigenous mining entrepreneur and Founder of Rabotec Group, Alhaji Ali Ibrahim, has called on Ghana to move beyond exporting raw minerals and focus on developing world-class mining technologies and systems that can compete globally. Reflecting on his journey as the head of an indigenous mining company, Ali Ibrahim said the greatest challenge facing local businesses is not access to capital but the lack of confidence Ghanaians have in one another. In Ghana, Rabotec is executing a US$400 million mining contract at Asanko Gold after the client renewed and expanded an earlier agreement. Overcoming ChallengesDespite the company’s rapid growth, Ali Ibrahim acknowledged that the journey has not been without setbacks. Away from business, Alhaji Ali Ibrahim is a devoted family man, happily married and blessed with children.
