GoldBod has created over 1,300 jobs across public and private sectors – CEO

“In terms of the private sector jobs, close to a thousand through the license reforms that have introduced four-tier licenses, tier one, tier two, self-financing aggregators, who are all employing more workers, and also the refineries that we’ve contracted to refine gold locally, employing workers,” he told the committee.

He attributed the private sector employment to reforms in gold-buying licences, the operations of self-financing aggregators and refineries contracted to process gold locally.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, says the government’s GoldBod initiative has created more than 1,300 jobs across the public and private sectors.
