A delegation of Paramount Chiefs from Mankessim, Nkusukum, Abura, Dominase, and Ogua recently engaged with the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, to address the stalled Ewoyaa Lithium Project.
Speaking on behalf of the group, the Omanhene of Mankessim, Osagyefo Amanda Edu IV, expressed deep concern over the prolonged delay, citing a sharp decline in global lithium prices, from
$4,000 per tonne in 2022 to $800/tonne currently. He noted that despite the Minerals Commission’s moratorium granted in December 2023, parliamentary ratification remains pending, further stalling progress.
The Chief underscored the project’s far-reaching implications, particularly for local communities. Approximately 2,000 hectares of land remain unused, leaving farmers unable to cultivate their fields for nearly 16 months. While due processes—including compensation negotiations and resettlement committees—have been followed, regulatory bottlenecks hinder advancement. The Omanhene urged the Minister to prioritize resolving outstanding issues to unlock the project’s potential.
In response, Hon. Buah assured the Chiefs of the government’s unwavering commitment to addressing the challenges and ensuring the project moves forward. Deputy Minister Hon. Sulemana Yusif reinforced this pledge, affirming the legitimacy of the Chiefs’ concerns and reiterating the President’s dedication to fulfilling promises made regarding the lithium initiative.
The Minister also acknowledged the need for expedited engagement with the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) and Parliament to secure timely ratification. The government’s resolve and collaborative efforts signal a renewed push to revitalize the Ewoyaa Lithium Project and deliver tangible benefits to affected communities.
