Sewerage Systems Ghana Limited (SSGL), a subsidiary of the Jospong Group of Companies, has secured a €76 million credit facility to build a faecal waste treatment plant and also expand the sewerage management system at Tema in the Greater Accra Region.

The project, which is expected to begin this year, is meant to address challenges that improper faecal waste disposal pose to residents of Tema.

The Managing Director of SSGL, Haidar Said, who made this known in Accra, said the amount was sourced from the company’s foreign partners and other export banks.

He said the company is currently consulting with government to receive its commitment, after which the sod would be cut for work to begin on the project.

Mr Said disclosed this when the Senior Minister, Yaw Osafo-Maafo, paid a working visit to SSGL to have first-hand knowledge of its operations.

The two plants cost $80 million and will jointly employ 300 people directly, with 1,000 others as indirect employees.

Mr. Said and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Jospong Group of Companies, Joseph Siaw Agyapong, conducted the minister round the facility. Regarding the Tema Sewage Project, Mr Said explained that the faecal treatment plant will be constructed from scratch, while the obsolete sewage systems at Tema will be rehabilitated and expanded.

He said the company’s focus is on establishing waste treatment plants in major regional capitals in the country.
