GoldBod initiative has created over 1,300 public and private sector jobs – Sammy Gyamfi

“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.

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.

The private sector component of jobs created under the GoldBod initiative should be more than a thousand,” he told the committee.
