Goldbod key to reviving Ghana’s economy – CEO

Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (Goldbod), Sammy Gyamfi, says the establishment of the Board goes beyond streamlining activities in the gold sector; it is also a strategic move to help revive Ghana’s struggling economy.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Gyamfi stated that Goldbod, as a flagship programme under President John Dramani Mahama’s administration, aims to ensure that Ghanaians benefit fully from the country’s rich mineral resources.

“Goldbod was part of our campaign promise. It is not only going to help miners; it is about transforming the entire gold sector and restoring our economy to its former position,” he said.

Mr. Gyamfi also expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support received from stakeholders so far.

“My appointment was one of the earliest, indicating the seriousness of the President regarding this matter. So far, I have received major support from all stakeholders, including the President.

“Ghana is blessed with abundant minerals, but our living conditions don’t reflect that. Goldbod seeks to change this narrative and ensure the gold sector contributes meaningfully to national development,” he added.
