The Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor has assured Graphic Communications Group Ltd (GCGL) that his Ministry will carefully study reports and recommendations submitted after the just ended Natural Resources Stakeholders Dialogue and strictly implement them.
The Minister gave this assurance when he received a communique on the Natural Resources Stakeholders Dialogue put together by the Graphic Communications Group Ltd on Tuesday, 16th May, 2023 in Accra.
Mr. Jinapor in his remarks applauded the team from GCGL for bringing up such a timely programme which has been unanimously applauded by the masses as a major success.
“We at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources are extremely grateful for the leadership you have shown and to your outfit in general for putting together such an all important stakeholders dialogue to build a consensus around national issues.”
The Minister also pointed out that although discussions at the dialogue were productive and comprehensive, it should not end there but rather focus on specific issues, such as having surface mining as opposed to underground mining and the question of restricting small scale mining to prevent environmental degradation.
He noted that due to the very consequential nature of the issues to be discussed, a lot more of such dialogues can be organized to think through some specific issues without having to make it a nationwide campaign.
Mr. Samuel A. Jinapor hoped that the strong ties and collaboration established between the Ministry and Graphic will continue as they work together for the good of the people of Ghana and the country at large.
On behalf of his outfit, the Managing Director for Graphic Communication Group Limited, Mr. Ato Afful said the forum which sought to have a broad consensus in getting critical stakeholders to agree on a pathway to managing Ghana’s natural resources was a success.
He continued that the documents will help build a timetable to follow through the implementation of some key take-out from the dialogue.
Mr. Afful assured the Minister that he will make available copies of the reports to all the Ministry’s agencies to ensure meaningful and sustainable results as proposed by the Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah.
