Workers at Future Global Resources Bogoso-Prestea Mines (FGR) are protesting against alleged mismanagement that has adversely affected mine productivity and workers' payment systems.

The General Secretary of the senior staff union at FGR Bogoso-Prestea Mines, Samuel Kumi Manu, along with other workers, voiced their concerns to Citi News during the demonstration.

They claimed that the mine has witnessed no investment since FGR assumed control in 2020.

In response, they called on the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, to request evidence of FGR's financial capability.

This, they believe, will determine whether the mine should be retained by FGR or transferred to a more credible investor.

“We want the sector minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor, to take action because we know on record that the minister has, on two occasions, issued ultimatums to FGR to show proof of financial capability. However, on both occasions, FGR has failed to comply. This implies that FGR does not have the means to operate the mine. Therefore, we expect the minister to intervene and transfer it to a credible investor who can inject financial capacity into the operation, as what we lack now is finances.”
