The Chief Executive Officer of the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF), Justina Nelson, has undertaken a familiarisation visit to selected quarry sites as part of efforts to deepen engagement within Ghana’s quarry industry.

The visit, held on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, formed part of the fund’s 2026 stakeholder outreach strategy.

It provided MIIF’s leadership with first-hand insight into operational performance, regulatory compliance, and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices across the sector.

The tour, first of the year, was aimed at reinforcing strategic partnerships with operators, affirming the fund’s active oversight role, and positioning MIIF as a committed long-term investment partner within Ghana’s quarry and broader mining value chain.

The delegation toured the facilities of Regimanuel Concrete Products Limited in Ablekuma, as well as Massey Stone Ghana Limited and Eastern Quarries Limited at Shai Hills.

The CEO was accompanied by the Chief Technical Officer, Kwabena Barning; Acting Head of Technical and Operations, Nana Abaka Tandor, and other senior officials of the fund.

Officials of the Commercial Quarry Operators Association, including Chairman Ebenezer Mireku and Secretary Georgina Dziwornu, also joined the engagements.

Their participation underscored the importance of the visit and provided a platform for operators to directly present their concerns and perspectives to the fund.

Briefing the media after the tour, Nelson disclosed that plans are underway to establish an intergovernmental taskforce to address persistent encroachment and compliance challenges confronting quarry operators nationwide.

She explained that the initiative forms part of renewed efforts to safeguard mineral concessions, improve royalty mobilisation, and promote sustainable operations within the extractive sector.

The proposed taskforce, working in collaboration with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Minerals Commission, will be deployed more frequently to monitor activities in the field and strengthen regulatory enforcement.

The initiative will also involve closer engagement with Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) to curb encroachment on legally acquired quarry concessions and protect investments in the sector.
