The Ghana National Gas Company (Ghana Gas) has announced plans to undertake seven major legacy projects in the Ellembelle District as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments to host communities.

The projects were announced by the Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Gas, Judith Adjobah Blay, at the launch of the Eco Brigade initiative at Sanzule in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region.

According to the CEO, the projects, which have been captured in the company’s budget, include the construction of a modern market at Esiama, the installation of streetlights from Alla-Bokazo to the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant and the revival of the Ghana Gas Scholarship Scheme.

The others are the construction of a 12-unit classroom block at Bonzo Kaku Senior High School (BOKASS), community centres at Anochie and Asemda, and a modern sports complex at Asasetre.

The Esiama Market Complex, which is currently under construction, is among the projects the company has pledged to complete on schedule in collaboration with the Member of Parliament for Ellembelle.

Speaking at the launch, Adjobah Blay called on residents of the host communities to support the company as it works to fulfil its mandate and CSR commitments.

She said Ghana Gas had a lot to offer the Ellembelle District and other host districts through its CSR initiatives and appealed for continued collaboration and support from traditional authorities, opinion leaders and residents to ensure the successful implementation of the projects.

For his part, the MP for Ellembelle and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, commended the company and its CEO for earmarking key infrastructure projects for the people of Ellembelle.

He expressed optimism that the projects would be completed and said the district deserved to benefit from the company’s operations.

He also called on the people of Ellembelle to support the CEO in her endeavours.

Residents have also appealed to Ghana Gas to help address development gaps in the area.
