he fight against illegal mining (Galamsey) cannot be won if politicians and other stakeholders continue to act in ways that encourage the perpetrators, says the minister of lands and natural resources.

Speaking at the 40th anniversary of Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Samuel Abu Jinapor observed the battle can only be won collectively.

.

“We will not make headway if natural resources managers, forest managers, security personnel, and other professionals connive with the very people against whom they are to enforce government policies and laws.

.

“It cannot be right for opposition political party leaders to say if voted in power, they will release all jailed illegal miners and allow them to mine.

Meanwhile, the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources at KNUST has been tasked to come out with sustainable management of the country’s natural resources.

The Theme for the anniversary is “40 years of training natural resources managers: A new age for a new focus”.

The alumni plan to construct a 300-seater computer and GIS laboratory for the faculty as part of efforts to enhance training natural resource managers.
