As the mine in Wassa Damang continues to evolve, the focus on local content and community participation in employment has taken center stage.
Nana Enimere Kwaw II, the legitimate and recognised chief of Wassa Damang, has called for a renewed commitment from mining companies, especially Abosso Goldfields Limited (AGL) and its contractors, to uphold and enhance employment priorities for the people of Damang and surrounding communities.
Nana Enimere Kwaw II emphasised that employers in the mining sector must prioritise the communities in which they operate, particularly in light of the significant investments made over the years in local skills development. "Damang Mine has trained a large number of local nationals who are now competent and qualified to take up roles across various departments in the mining value chain.
It is only just and fair that these individuals are given the first opportunity for employment," he stated.
