With several decades in housing construction, the real estate mogul, who started the business in his small native country The Gambia, and later made a name for himself in Africa’s populous nation, Nigeria, has gone beyond the shores of Gambia.
TAF Africa Global Limited, which is a leading Pan-African real estate company, is said to have its presence in 9 (nine) African countries, “with its parent company registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and major operations in Nigeria, The Gambia, and most recently Sierra Leone”.
As per the information on its website, “Our projects have consistently imprinted indelible marks across Africa.”
TAF Njie is now leading a high-level delegation to the West African state of Liberia.
A news dispatch from the Office of the Presidential Special Envoy on Investment, Office of the President,
Executive Mission, Ambassador Mohammed M. Bah, on 6th April, 2026, with pleasure, announced the arrival in Liberia of “a high-level delegation from TAF Africa Global Limited, led by its Group Managing Director, Mustapha
Njie – TAF, in response to the gracious invitation of His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr., President of the Republic of Liberia”.
The visit, as indicated by Amb. Bah, forms part of the Liberian Government’s broader strategy to attract credible, transformative, and long-term investment partners capable of supporting the country’s national development priorities, particularly in the areas of affordable housing, smart city development, urban renewal, and sustainable infrastructure expansion.
“The delegation’s engagements are being coordinated through the office arrangements of Amb. Mohammed M. Bah, Presidential Special Envoy on Investment, whose office has developed a week-long strategic program that includes high-level meetings with the President, the National Investment Commission, the Liberia Land Authority, the National Housing Authority, Monrovia City Corporation, financial institutions, county authorities, and relevant legal and planning stakeholders,” according to the release.
Founded in 1990, it went on, “TAF Africa Global Limited is one of Africa’s leading indigenous real estate
development companies, with a proven track record spanning more than three decades across countries including The Gambia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone.
“The company is widely respected for delivering affordable housing estates, smart cities, mixed-use developments, and integrated urban communities that combine residential units with roads, drainage, schools, healthcare, recreation, green spaces, and commercial infrastructure,” Liberia’s Office of the Presidential Special Envoy on Investment acknowledged.
The release disclosed that, at the center of the current discussions is a proposed 5,000-unit affordable housing and smart city initiative, expected to be developed on approximately 500 hectares of land within the Monrovia growth corridor, with possible expansion opportunities in Montserrado and Grand Cape Mount Counties.
The project, it further indicated, is expected to significantly contribute to: reducing Liberia’s housing deficit; creating jobs for Liberians; improving urban infrastructure; stimulating mortgage and housing finance systems; supporting diaspora home ownership; and strengthening public-private investment partnerships.
Speaking on the significance of the visit, Liberia’s chief of state President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr. was said to have reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to creating the right environment for transformative investments.
“Liberia remains open and ready for serious investment partnerships that directly improve the lives of our people.
Affordable housing and smart urban development are central to our national vision, and we welcome credible African institutions like TAF Africa Global that bring experience, innovation, and long-term commitment to the table,” the dispatch quoted President Boakai Sr. as saying; further emphasized that strategic partnerships of this nature are essential to expanding economic opportunity, creating employment, and modernizing Liberia’s urban landscape.
For Amb. Bah, the visit represents more than a business engagement, but a strategic confidence-building mission that positions Liberia as an emerging destination for large-scale infrastructure and housing investment in West Africa.
He’s quoted: “This mission reflects the President’s clear commitment to mobilizing investment that delivers real impact. TAF Africa Global’s track record across Africa gives Liberia a strong opportunity to accelerate affordable housing delivery and planned urban growth through a credible public-private framework.”
According to the release, Njie and his delegation’s visit would conclude with strategic site visits, county-level consultations, and the expected signing of foundational legal instruments, including a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Joint Venture Outline (JOV), and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with the relevant Government institutions.
The Office of the Presidential Special Envoy on Investment reassured that it remains committed to ensuring that the visit translates into actionable next steps, sustained collaboration, and long-term national value.
