Aid me in developing small-scale mining—Abu Jinapor to the chiefs and people of Bole

Samuel Abu Jinapor, the minister for lands and natural resources, is urging the chiefs and people of the Bole Traditional Area to assist his ministry in developing the country's small scale mining sector.
According to the Damongo MP, who is on a five-day working visit to the country's five northern regions, the current regime is not against small-scale mining in the country, but it is against irresponsible mining that degrades the environment.
On his final working visit to the Savannah Region, the sector minister addressed chiefs and people of the Bole traditional area, urging the good people of the area to adopt eco friendly mining processes that will profit everybody.
Meanwhile, the Bole zonal Branch of the Ghana National Association of Small Scale Miners petitioned the Lands and Natural Resources Minister to consider enrolling five communities in the Bole area in the government's flagship community mining scheme initiative.
The miners are pleading with him to grant Dollar-Power, Banda Nkwanta, and Kui mining concessions. Cluth and Sakpa are the others, and their purpose is to facilitate mining activities in these areas and provide jobs for the youth.
Responding to their concerns, Abu Jinapor stated that miners' jobs will not be jeopardized during his tenure as minister of lands and natural resources. He went on to say that he is working hard to promote responsible mining in the country.

Food Poisoning in Ghana: A system failure?

Over 420,000 cases of foodborne illness are reported annually in Ghana, where one in every 40 persons is affected.

IN A POLITICAL SPHERE FULL OF UNCERTAINTIES: THE ONLY SURE THING IS “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE INTENTIONS...By  YAKUBU HUSEIN PUMAYA YAKUBU HUSEIN PUMAYA As a fresher, I got attracted to any aspirant who was bold enough to speak to me. In my mind, the best form of bravery was the ability to speak to strangers; that was what I considered to be the hallmark of a true leader. If more than one aspirant spoke to me, I considered the one who was more fluent to be the best candidate. In effect, my opinion of whom a good leader is, was based on his/her ability to speak good English.  When I was a fresher, I remember telling one of my seniors that I thought a particular candidate was going to win. He asked me why, and I answered proudly, “because he was the first to come to my class and he spoke perfect English”. He laughed at me and said, “Small boys are young”.  After 3 years on campus, it has become clear that I was indeed small and young. I have learnt that ...
