Business mogul and Chief Executive Officer of Engineers and Planners, Ibrahim Mahama, has pledged significant infrastructure investments for communities around the Damang Mine following the takeover of its operations by his company.
His comments came after the official handover of the mine to Engineers and Planners for onward production, marking a new phase in its management.
Speaking after the handover ceremony, Mr Mahama said the company is already considering community-driven proposals, including the construction of sports facilities.
“I want to pledge this, and I want to say it for everybody to hear. I got a text from one of our young men in here. It says we should build astroturfs for all the communities, which we’re looking to do,” he said.
He also announced plans to improve transport infrastructure in the area, including an airport project and a major road network.
“We’ve applied for Damang to have an airport, and within six months, Damang will have an airport, such that we can fly to Accra easily. In the next two years, we’ll be able to drive from here to Cape Coast on a concrete road or a natural road,” he added.
“I beg you, this is not political talk. This is real talk,” Mahama said.
