The chiefs and people of Ada are demonstrating their support for salt mining company, Electrochem Ghana Limited, in reaction to a demonstration by another faction that is opposed to the company.
A group against the operation of Electrochem Ghana Limited took their frustration to the streets in Accra last week to register their displeasure towards the involvement of the chiefs and alleged security brutalities over the years.
According to the group, the activities of Electrochem Ghana Limited have deprived them of their livelihoods, and they want their fair share of the over 40,000-acre Songor salt concession.
The Songor salt concession has sparked numerous agitations and litigation ever since the government handed it to the chairman of the McDan Group of Companies, Dr. Daniel McKorley to mine.
The Ada Traditional Council is also to host a press conference in response to the disgruntled group and to further entreat the company to continue with its activities.
