ICU-Ghana appeals to Mahama to halt proposed VALCO sale  

The Union said the company was a strategic national asset that should remain under state ownership, citing recent operational improvements and concerns about the potential impact of private ownership.

Mr Morgan Ayawine, General Secretary of ICU-Ghana, made the appeal in a statement issued to the Ghana News Agency after leading VALCO workers and national officers of the Union in a protest at Tema against the proposed transaction.

Mr Ayawine said transferring a controlling stake in VALCO to a private investor would deprive the State of ownership of a strategic national asset.
