Education is one of the key of our corporate social responsibilities in all the areas we work. The cost of this school block is GHS 295, 601. 75. The school is a 4 unit classroom block with a staff common room. We have rest room where the pupils can rest when they are tired. I plead with parents to ensure their children go to school. ” – Chief Servant Godwin Armah said.
He added that, building the 4 unit block is not the only support they have rendered to the community but they have done more.
” It’ s not only the school. We have roofed the community’ s palace for them with an amount of GHS 43, 000. We also credited the community’ s account with the 1% agreed entitlement. ” – He added.
Moreover, Mr Godwin Armah advised his colleague miners to practice responsible mining and ensure they abide by their social responsibilities.
” My colleague miners, our job provides a lot of employment in the nation. We need to leave a trademark at where we work. The story has been one but there are a lot of stories we can tell. Most people are pointing hands at us for destroying the lands and water bodies. Let’ s practice proper mining so government and other stakeholders will allow us to work” – Mr Armah advised.
