The Regional Co-ordinating Director, Pln. Joseph K. Baah-Darkoh, also assured stakeholders of the Council’s full support for a transparent and inclusive assessment process.

The engagement concluded with a collective commitment from all parties to sustain stakeholder consultations throughout the next phase of the project’s environmental assessment process.
