The Ada Traditional Council has urged the government to ensure the safety of Electrochem Ghana Limited workers and its operations at the Ada Songhor Lagoon.
This comes after a recent attack on the local salt mining company, where a group of individuals besieged the company's premises on January 8.
They ransacked the company's warehouse, damaged water pumping machines, and assaulted company staff. "We are calling on the President of the Republic and relevant security agencies to provide the same level of security to mining areas with investors as it is provided to other traditional mining areas," said Nene Agdey Obichere, the Ada Mankralo, at a press briefing.
The Traditional Council stated that attacks on Electrochem Ghana Limited were sending a damaging message to potential investors, threatening the community's plans for salt development.
