Government has appointed Heath Goldfields as new managers for Bogoso Prestea Mines.
This follows over seven months of agitations by members of the Ghana Mine Workers Union (GMWU).
In a statement signed by the General Secretary of the GMWU, Abdul Moomin Gbana, said the appointment of Heath Goldfields will put the mines on a sound footing. "As a Union our priority remains the prosperity of the Bogoso Prestea mines, the protection of incomes and livelihood of our members and the growth of local economies of Bogoso and Prestea.
We are therefore happy about the decision of government and wish to pledge our firm support and commitment to work with Heath Goldfields to turn around Bogoso and Prestea mines," Mr Gbaba wrote.
