EMMANUEL ODURO Osae, Dean of Graduate & Research at the Institute of Local Government Studies, Madina near Accra, has called for an intensified awareness creation among illegal small-scale miners to highlight the importance of legalizing their operations.
He said, “Effective management of artisanal and small-scale mining requires raising awareness among such miners to regularize their operations and to operate legally, efficiently and in an environmentally-friendly manner.”
He noted that even though Ghana’s mining law frowned on illegal mining, many people were engaged in the act without realizing the harmful effects of their operations on the environment.
