MONROVIA — A high-level delegation from TAF Africa Global Limited has arrived in Liberia to begin a strategic investment mission focused on affordable housing and urban development, following an invitation from President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.
The delegation, led by Group Managing Director Mustapha “TAF” Njie, is engaging key government institutions as part of a coordinated effort to explore large-scale investment opportunities aligned with Liberia’s national development priorities.
Strategic Investment Push
According to the Office of the Presidential Special Envoy on Investment, the visit forms part of the government’s broader strategy to attract credible, long-term partners capable of delivering transformative infrastructure, particularly in affordable housing, smart city development, and urban renewal.
The week-long mission is being coordinated by Mohammed M. Bah, whose office has developed a comprehensive engagement schedule for the visiting delegation.
Planned meetings include interactions with the National Investment Commission, Liberia Land Authority, National Housing Authority, Monrovia City Corporation, financial institutions, and other legal and planning stakeholders.
Officials say the structured approach reflects Liberia’s growing readiness to position itself as a competitive destination for large-scale investment in West Africa.
Proposed 5,000 Housing Units
At the center of discussions is a proposed 5,000-unit affordable housing and smart city project, expected to be developed on approximately 500 hectares of land within the Monrovia growth corridor.
The initiative could also expand into Montserrado and Grand Cape Mount counties, depending on feasibility and stakeholder consultations.
If implemented, the project is expected to:
- Reduce Liberia’s housing deficit
- Create employment opportunities for Liberians
- Improve urban infrastructure
- Stimulate mortgage and housing finance systems
- Support diaspora home ownership
- Strengthen public-private partnerships
Boakai Reaffirms Investment Commitment
President Boakai welcomed the delegation, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to fostering a conducive environment for impactful investment.
“Liberia remains open and ready for serious investment partnerships that directly improve the lives of our people,” the President said.
He emphasized that affordable housing and smart urban development are central to his government’s agenda, noting that partnerships with experienced African firms such as TAF Africa Global are critical to achieving these goals.
Confidence-Building Mission
For his part, Ambassador Bah described the visit as more than a routine business engagement, characterizing it as a strategic step in building investor confidence in Liberia.
“This mission reflects the President’s clear commitment to mobilizing investment that delivers real impact,” Bah said, pointing to TAF’s track record across multiple African countries as a key advantage.
Founded in 1990, TAF Africa Global has operated for over three decades in countries including The Gambia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, delivering integrated housing estates, smart cities, and mixed-use developments.
Toward Formal Agreements
The delegation’s visit is expected to conclude with site visits, county-level consultations, and the signing of key legal instruments, including a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Joint Venture Outline (JOV), and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with relevant government institutions.
Officials say these steps are critical to translating discussions into concrete investment projects.
The Office of the Presidential Special Envoy on Investment has assured that it remains committed to ensuring that the mission leads to actionable outcomes, sustained collaboration, and long-term national value.
If successful, the engagement with TAF Africa Global could mark a significant milestone in Liberia’s efforts to address its housing challenges while accelerating urban modernization.
