Nigerian billionaire and telecom mogul Mike Adenuga had a private meeting with Ghanaian President John Mahama at his residence in Accra on Monday. The visit, described as a friendly catch-up between longtime associates, highlighted the strong and ongoing connection between these two influential West African leaders.

Adenuga, often recognized as one of Africas most prominent businessmen and known as The Spirit of Africa, spent the day with Mahama in a warm and personal exchange. While details of their conversation were kept private, aides on both sides confirmed the visit, with Adenuga returning to Lagos that same evening.

As the founder of telecom giant Globacom and energy firm Conoil, Adenuga is known for maintaining close but discreet ties across political and business circles throughout Africa. His link with Mahama goes back several years. Since taking office as Ghanas 14th president in January 2025, Mahama has played a key role in steering the country toward economic recovery.

Ghanas cedi has strengthened by more than 40 percent against the U.S. dollar this year, outperforming many African and emerging market peers. This has helped reduce the cost of the nations foreign debt and eased fiscal pressures. This progress has come as a relief to many, marking an important step forward for Ghana as it recovers from a difficult economic crisis.

This latest meeting takes place amid growing cooperation in areas such as telecommunications, banking, and energy, sectors where Adenugas businesses are heavily involved. Though no formal agenda was shared, private talks like these often carry deeper significance, signaling solidarity among African leaders and entrepreneurs.
