Newmont Management urged to patronize products in the Ahafo Region

The Ahafo Regional Minister Honorable George Yaw Boakye has urged the Management of Newmont Mining Company Limited to patronize Ahafo products during its meetings, workshops and conferences to help generate income for the development of the autonomous Region.

This came to light when the management of Newmont mining company Ahafo paid a courtesy call on the Ahafo Regional Minister at his office to congratulate and welcome him on his appointment into office.

The Minister in his remarks assured the company that his doors and that of the Regional Coordinating Council are opened for any legal engagements that will foster development in the Ahafo Region.

Honourable George Boakye was grateful to the company for their contributions toward the socio-economic development thus far in the Ahafo area and urged them to do more. 

The Minister, however, used the occasion to solicit sponsorship from the company for his soon to be launched 'Youth Entrepreneurship Program' for the Region which will seek to create many jobs for the youth.

Newmont Ahafo led by the Regional Vice President Mr Francois Hardy, promised their full support for a successful administration of Honourable George Boakye through periodic meetings to exchange ideas as well extending helping hands to the Regional Coordinating Council and to the good people of Ahafo.

The management seized the opportunity to appeal to the Minister to help them to deal with the challenge of illegal mining within their concession.
