Ashanti Youth for Development has called on President Akufo-Addo and the Ashanti Regional Minister Simon Osei Mensah to allow the Exton Cubic Group Limited to mine at the Tano-Offin Forest Reserve to create jobs for the youth around the Atwima Mponua District and its surroundings.
According to the group, the Exton Cubic Limited has fulfilled its obligations for both the State and the Community.
The Convener of the group Henry Osei Akoto addressing the media in Kumasi said they find the belligerent posture of Mr Osei Mensah who is being spurred on by certain elements within the government as very unfortunate.
According to Henry Osei Akoto, “our checks have confirmed that Exton Cubic Limited has acquired various licenses such as Due Diligence, Prospecting License, Forest Entry Permit and Environmental Permit.
In addition to these, Exton Cubic has conducted an Environmental Impact Assessment and Community Engagement at the community”.
He added ‘it is therefore shocking to us that in the face of such compelling evidence, government and its notable functionaries such as the Ashanti Regional Minister have vowed to deny Exton Cubic Limited entry to the Tano-Offin Forest Reserve to undertake prospecting and have consequently seized the company’s equipment.
“We wish to advise the government to stop the needless haunting of indigenous Ghanaians companies which are working so hard to generate employment and provide livelihood to Ghanaians”.
