Ellembelle residents anticipate legacy projects from Ghana Gas company
The Ghana National Gas Company (Ghana Gas) has announced plans to deliver seven major legacy projects in the Ellembelle District as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments to host communities.
The projects were announced by the Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Gas, Judith Adjobah Blay, at the launch of the Eco Brigade initiative at Sanzule in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region.
According to the CEO, the projects captured in the company's budget include the construction of a modern market at Esiama, the installation of streetlights from Alla-Bokazo to the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant, the revival of the Ghana Gas Scholarship Scheme, the construction of a 12-unit classroom block at Bonzo Kaku Senior High School (BOKASS), the construction of community centres at Anochie and Asemda, and the construction of a modern sports complex at Asasetre.
The Esiama Market Complex, which is currently under construction, is among the projects the company has pledged to complete on time in collaboration with the Member of Parliament for Ellembelle.
Speaking at the launch, Adjobah Blay called on residents of the host communities to rally behind the company as it works to deliver on its mandate and CSR commitments.
She said the company has a lot to offer the Ellembelle District and other host districts through its CSR initiatives and appealed for continued collaboration and support from traditional authorities, opinion leaders and residents to ensure successful implementation of the projects.
For his part, the MP for Ellembelle and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, commended the company and the CEO for earmarking key infrastructure projects for the people of Ellembelle and expressed optimism that they would be realised.
He said the district deserves to benefit from the operations of the company and called on the people of Ellembelle to support the CEO in all her endeavours.
Residents have also appealed to Ghana Gas to help address development deficits in the area.
