President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on organised labour to reconsider its planned nationwide strike set for October 10, highlighting his commitment to addressing concerns related to illegal mining, which is severely damaging the environment.
This appeal was made during a closed-door meeting with union leaders on October 3, where illegal mining was a key focus of discussion.
Sources indicate that the President requested a postponement of the strike to allow more time to address the unions' demands.
Organised Labour has voiced dissatisfaction with what they view as the government's inadequate response to illegal mining, which they argue is causing significant environmental harm.
