President Akufo-Addo has embarked on an enthusiastic campaign to promote the salt mining company Electrochem operating in the Ada region.

The establishment of Electrochem had previously incited protests among residents due to concerns about the acquisition of salt ponds.

However, during this year's Asafotufiami festival, President Akufo-Addo sought the community's support and emphasized that the Ada-Songor Salt project led by Electrochem has the potential to drive local development.

“We want all the people in Ada to support this project because it has the capacity to transform the economy, and the lives of all the people of Ada and our country. I want all of you to continue to give maximum support to the activities of Electrochem,” President Akufo-Addo advised.

President Akufo-Addo encouraged all Ada residents to back the project, stating, "We want all the people in Ada to support this project because it has the capacity to transform the economy, and the lives of all the people of Ada and our country. I want all of you to continue to give maximum support to the activities of Electrochem."

Earlier in June, President Akufo-Addo urged the chiefs and people of Ada to permit the salt mining company's operations in the area.

Despite residents' resistance and various concerns, President Akufo-Addo emphasized the significance of accepting the Ada Salt Project.

The allocation of the Songor salt concession to Dr. Daniel McKorley, chairman of the McDan Group of Companies, for mining has sparked multiple controversies, including protests and legal disputes.
