President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has praised the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies. This is for their increased efforts in stopping illegal mining activities that harm the environment.
The President mentioned this during a recent address. He highlighted the importance of their work in preserving Ghana's valuable natural resources.
He stressed that protecting the country's resources is vital for future generations. Illegal mining, often called galamsey, has caused significant damage to lands and water bodies.
The police and security forces have been conducting various operations across the country. These operations aim to dismantle illegal mining sites and arrest those involved.
The President's commendation signals continued government support for these anti-illegal mining efforts. More action is expected to ensure compliance with mining laws.
