Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, Afro-Arab Properties Honoured at National Business Honours 2025
Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, President and Founder of the Afro-Arab Group of Companies, has once again demonstrated his influence as a transformative leader in Ghana’s business space after receiving a top honour at this year’s National Business Honours. The ceremony, held on Friday, August 29, 2025, at the Marriott Hotel in Accra, saw the respected entrepreneur and his flagship real estate subsidiary, Afro-Arab Properties, decorated with two of the most prestigious awards of the night.
Ambassador Amadu received the Ultimate Innovation in Affordable Housing Award, while Afro-Arab Properties was celebrated with the Real Estate Innovation Award for its groundbreaking contributions to the housing sector.
The National Business Honours, widely regarded as one of Ghana’s most credible platforms for celebrating excellence, attracted key players across industries, but it was Afro-Arab Properties that stood out as the name redefining real estate in Ghana.
Over the past few years, Afro-Arab Properties has carved a solid reputation for combining affordability with innovation. One of its most applauded initiatives is its interest-free five-year housing payment plan, a rare model in Ghana’s property market. This policy gives working families and individuals the chance to own homes without the crushing burden of interest rates, setting a new standard in the industry.
Reacting to the recognition, Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu expressed heartfelt appreciation to the organizers, his team, and most importantly, to God.
“I am very honored to be awarded the Ultimate Innovation in Affordable Housing. This recognition means everything we do as a company is being noticed by many out there. I thank Almighty Allah for bringing Afro-Arab Properties this far,” he said.
He also used the moment to reassure Ghanaians of the company’s unwavering commitment to bridging the nation’s housing deficit.
“Our vision to build 200,000 homes is still on course. At Afro-Arab Properties, we believe everyone deserves a decent place to live. We will continue to be the best in delivering affordable housing solutions that truly change lives,” he added.
Afro-Arab Properties, a subsidiary of the Afro-Arab Group, has become synonymous with reliability and innovation in Ghana’s real estate market. Beyond just selling houses, the company prides itself on providing sustainable and customer-centered housing solutions tailored to the needs of low- and middle-income earners. Its projects are built with modern designs, durable materials, and flexible payment systems, making homeownership possible for thousands who previously thought it was out of reach.
The Afro-Arab Group, founded and chaired by Ambassador Amadu, is a diversified conglomerate with strong investments in banking, sports, water and sanitation, media, paint manufacturing, and community development. The group’s ventures have not only created jobs but also empowered young entrepreneurs and supported social interventions across the country. Afro-Arab Properties remains one of its crown jewels, setting an example of how private sector innovation can support national development.
The 2025 National Business Honours served as a reminder that Ghana’s real estate future is being reshaped by companies willing to think outside the box. Afro-Arab Properties’ recognition underscores the growing demand for housing that is not only modern but also accessible to the everyday Ghanaian.
For Ambassador Alhaji Salamu Amadu, the awards are not just a personal victory but a reflection of the company’s mission to serve society. With a clear vision and groundbreaking policies, Afro-Arab Properties continues to stand tall as the driving force of affordable housing in Ghana.
