President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will Today re-open AngloGold Ashanti mines at Obuasi which was shut down some years ago, following an impasse between the company and illegal miners.
The mines before the shutdown, suspended essential services following clashes between illegal miners and some of its staff, leading to the death of the company’s Communication Director, John Owusu.
The security situation at the mining company, became delicate forcing the Police to partially withdrawn security men stationed on the company’s concession.
The re-opening of the mines follows a campaign promise of the New Patriotic Party, (NPP) to get the mines back into operation after resolving the impasse.
