Monrovia, Liberia — The National Investment Commission (NIC) proudly announces the arrival of a high-level delegation from TAF Africa Global Limited, a leading Pan-African real estate development firm, following an official invitation extended by His Excellency President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. This visit marks a significant step forward in Liberia’s efforts to accelerate sustainable urban development and strengthen strategic international partnerships.
The delegation is headed by distinguished entrepreneur Mr. Mustapha Njie, whose leadership has guided TAF Africa Global to over three decades of success in delivering innovative, affordable housing solutions and integrated “live-work-play” smart cities across Africa. The company’s reputation for excellence was further solidified by its recognition as the 2025 Affordable Housing Company of the Year in Africa, highlighting its proven capacity to execute large-scale, high-impact development projects that address critical housing needs while fostering vibrant communities.
This mission, coordinated in collaboration with the Office of the Presidential Special Envoy on Investment under the leadership of Ambassador Mohammed M. Bah, centers on a transformative proposal to develop 5,000 affordable housing units within Liberia. The initiative envisions the creation of a modern smart city spanning approximately 500 hectares within the Monrovia growth corridor, designed to support inclusive urban expansion and long-term sustainability.
Beyond the provision of housing, the proposed development integrates essential social and economic infrastructure, including educational institutions, healthcare facilities, green public spaces, and environmentally sustainable systems. This holistic approach reflects a commitment not only to shelter but to building thriving communities where residents can live, work, and prosper in a well-planned urban environment.
The anticipated economic impact of this partnership is substantial, with the project expected to generate employment opportunities for Liberian youth, empower local construction firms, and stimulate the growth of the country’s mortgage and housing finance sector. By fostering local participation and capacity building, the initiative aims to ensure that the benefits of development are widely shared across the population.
This collaboration aligns closely with the Government of Liberia’s broader agenda to promote urban renewal, strengthen infrastructure, and expand opportunities for diaspora homeownership. By engaging with a developer that has committed to building one million homes across Africa, Liberia is positioning itself as an emerging hub for sustainable urban development and investment in West Africa.
Speaking during a ceremony held at the Executive Mansion in Monrovia, the Chairman of the National Investment Commission, Honorable Jeff B. Blibo, emphasized the Government’s commitment to attracting credible and visionary partners. He noted that Liberia remains focused on securing investments that go beyond physical infrastructure to deliver transformative ecosystems capable of improving the quality of life for all Liberians.
The National Investment Commission reaffirms its dedication to fostering partnerships that drive inclusive growth, innovation, and national development, as Liberia continues its journey toward a more modern, resilient, and prosperous future.
