President Akufo-Addo

The Lands Ministry, the President indicated, has entered into partnership to provide alternative livelihood to help the social and economic growth in the mining communities.

Nana Akufo-Addo stated that citizens owe a sacred duty to protect the environment even as the nation reaps the benefits of the country’s natural resources.

“Our commitment is to deliver. We will have proper database of miners, environmental officers on site, changing rooms for miners and sickbays. There will truly be modern community mining schemes and certainly not permit this operation at galamsey slips through the backdoor”.

Samuel Jinapor

He noted that the NAELP is the first of such a comprehensive programme in the history of the mining sector and expressed gratitude to the President for the policy initiative.

Mr. Jinapor stated that the ministry, together with some agencies per the President’s directives have adopted several policy measures to come to grips with the menace of illegal mining and its devastating consequence on the environment.
