Over 300 mine workers picket Lands Ministry

More than three hundred mine workers from the Bogoso Mine have besieged the premises of the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources to picket.

The workers are demanding that the Minister terminates the mining lease granted to Future Global Resources who are the managers of the mine.

They argued that Future Global Resources does not have the wherewithal to manage the mine for three years now, thus all of them have been laid off.

General Secretary of the Ghana Mine Workers Union of TUC, Abdul Moomin Gbana said this when he addressed a news conference in Accra.

“The truth of the matter is that as far as we are concerned duty bearers must recognize that Future Global Resources does not have the financial resources to manage the mines so the Minister must terminate their contract,” he demanded.
