Iduapriem Mine engages stakeholders on community employment




Mr. Emmanuel Baidoo, Senior Manager-Sustainability for AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem Mine, has urged chiefs, opinion leaders and youth in the mine’s host communities to provide the needed information and support to the mine at all times for development to thrive.

“If you provide us with the needed support, it will ensure that the Community Employment Committee put together by the mine to address employment concerns, works effectively to meet the expectations of all”, he reiterated.

Mr. Baidoo said this when addressing stakeholders to review the work of the Community Employment Committee inaugurated six months ago at Tarkwa in The Western Region.
He indicated that the mine has made it mandatory for all site contractors to obtain clearance from the Sustainability   Department prior to medicals and induction of new employees to ensure strict compliance with the Community Employment Procedure.
He assured them that the mine, will continue to engage them to sustain the goodwill and support it enjoys from stakeholders and to give its host communities a sustainable future.
Speaking for the Municipal Chief Executive for Tarkwa Nsuaem, the Director at Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) for the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality, Nanabanyin Acquah-Thompson, called on the committee members to have the welfare of the people at heart and dedicate themselves wholly to the work.
Also, he said they should ensure that all qualified persons within the host communities get equal opportunity in recruitment within the mine and its Third Party Contractors.
The Chief of New Mankessim, Nana Kwesi Boah, thanked Anglogold for the effective collaboration and admonished the committee to do its work transparently to maintain fairness in all recruitment processes.

On behalf of the committee, President of the youth groups and member of the committee, Mr Frank K. Ewuley, called on all to support the work of the committee, stressing that their door remained open for feedback and constructive criticisms to address all concerns with regards to community employment issues.
So far, about 200 people from host communities have been employed through the Community Employment Procedure since December 2018. As a follow-up on the engagement with the community leadership and the youth, the Mine has started a series of community forums in earnest across all its 19 host communities to address all concerns.

Hence strong brands need to have effective touchpoints in both realms. For the past 20 years, Nissan’s outgoing logo has been a beacon on its vehicles and so much more. It has served as an identity, a business card, a handshake and the first greeting between customers and the driving excitement that Nissan vehicles provide. For decades more, Nissan’s logo has stayed true to a belief held by its founder Yoshisuke Aikawa, “Shisei tenjitsu o tsuranuku,” which he interpreted to mean, “If you have a strong belief, it penetrates even the sun.” While keeping this essence alive, Nissan’s new “calling card” reflects the significant changes in society over the last two decades. It is a reimagination of the iconic Nissan bra...
