In his welcome address, Williams Darko, the District Chief Executive lauded the initiative which to him, is going to be the bedrock of Bauxite mining in Nyinahin. “All eyes are on Nyinahin.

The Bauxite which is going to feed the Ghanaian economy for decades will see the light of day and because it will be refined here in Nyinahin, the siting of the Gas distribution Centre is in the right direction to feed into the processing chain”, he stated.

Again he mentioned that, the team is also in the district to ascertain from stakeholders where the pipes will be laid; which communities and compensation packages will be suitable for affected farmers and other engineering layouts for the project to kick-off.
