First Sky Group Projects

Celebrating its 23rd anniversary with a high-profile thanksgiving service, the Ghanaian conglomerate First Sky Group has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for both spiritual and industrial expansion. The event, attended by President John Dramani Mahama and a host of traditional and religious leaders, served as a platform to announce significant milestones in the company’s "legacy" projects.

Spiritual Expansion: The Legacy Church Project

At the heart of the group’s corporate social responsibility is a commitment to the Assemblies of God, Ghana. Executive Chairman Eric Seddy Kutortse revealed plans to construct 50 new churches and 50 mission houses by December 2026. This initiative is an extension of the group’s long-standing faith-driven mission, which has already seen the completion of 101 churches across the country.

Mr. Kutortse emphasized that the company’s core philosophy intertwines economic success with religious devotion. Beyond physical structures, the group reported a strong internal focus on evangelism, noting that dozens of employees recently embraced the Christian faith through company-led services.

Pioneering Renewable Energy in Yendi

Shifting from spiritual to structural development, First Sky Group provided an update on its landmark 50-megawatt solar power station in Yendi. Highlights of this project include:

• National Impact: Set to be the second-largest solar installation in Ghana (following the Bui Solar plant), it will be the first utility-scale solar facility entirely owned by a Ghanaian entity.

• Economic Growth: Spanning 140 acres, the project is slated for completion in March 2026 and is expected to generate over 300 jobs in the Northern Region.

• Sustainability: The plant aligns with global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) regarding climate action and clean energy, contributing directly to the national power grid.

A Vision for Local Capacity

The anniversary event also served as a moment of political and social reflection. Mr. Kutortse lauded President Mahama’s first year in office, offering prayers for the nation's "peace and prosperity." He attributed the growth of First Sky Group—which now oversees a diverse portfolio including insurance, hospitality, construction, and banking—to a national belief in homegrown talent.

With a workforce of over 6,000 employees, the conglomerate continues to advocate for a synergy between private enterprise and public leadership as the primary driver for Ghana's future progress.
