On Wednesday, 30th August 2023, the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, commissioned the Electrochem Salt Mine.
With its current ability to produce some six hundred and fifty thousand metric tons (650,000 MT) of salt per annum, and expanding its productive capacity to one million metric tons in 2024, and to two million metric tons by 2027, the Electrochem Salt Mine will be the biggest salt producing facility in Africa.
For some fifty-four (54) years, successive Governments have tried, without success, to harness the full value of the Songhor Lagoon.
However, it is under the Government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo that the Songhor Lagoon is being brought into full production for the benefit of residents of Ada and citizens of the entire nation.
The Akufo-Addo Government is determined to make Ghana an example of rapid economic growth within the context of a well-developed market economy, where the private sector does not only survive, but actually thrives.
