President Nana Akufo-Addo has promised to construct roads leading to the Songor Salt Mine in Ada to ensure the smooth running of the mine.
At the commissioning of the salt mine and processing plant at Songor in Ada by Electrochem Ghana Limited, the president said he would engage the Ministry of Roads and Highways to ensure that the road is constructed on time.
“I have taken note of the request by McDan for the construction of some major roads leading to the mine and I will put this request to the Minister of Roads and ensure that he has disbursed to construct the roads and I will take a personal interest in them.”
President Akufo-Addo further encouraged the indigenes and chiefs of Ada to cooperate with the company to adequately earn the total benefits of the mine’s establishment.
“For this project to thrive, it will need the support and backing not only of the government but also of the people and chiefs of the community, and to this end, I would want to extend the appreciation of the government and people of Ghana to my good friend, the paramount chief of the Ada traditional area and his chiefs and people for giving the support you have given your own son and it is a gesture that should be emulated by other traditional authorities.
“You have seen for yourself the development that this project is already bringing to Ada including the construction of a sports complex, interest-free loans to traders and businesswomen and men of Ada, the construction of roads, the introduction of a scholarship scheme, and the provision of potable water for the communities in the catchment area.”
