The engagement, according to the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, would help ensure that the efforts of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to build an integrated aluminium industry with all the linkages to mining, smelting, refinery and downstream production, were realised.
“We are determined to work relentlessly to ensure that his vision comes into fruition,” the Damongo MP said.
For over eight decades, the country has made several efforts to establish and maintain an integrated aluminium industry.
