The Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, has lauded the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, John Peter Amewu, for his brave efforts in fighting against illegal mining, also known as galamsey, in the country.<\/p>\n

The Vice President said\u00a0“John Peter Amewu is a gem, a gem of the Gbi state, he is a\u00a0gem for the Volta Region and a gem of Ghana as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work that Peter Amewu is doing with Nana Akufo-Addo and the government is the work that you voted for Nana to do. So we ask the people of the Gbi State and the people of Ghana as a whole to continue praying for Nana Akuffo Addo and the government because we are going to do great things for this country,” he also said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bawumia noted that “The creation of this new economy that we have embarked on cannot be possible without the support of John Peter Amewu and the work he is doing and is going to do in the Ministry of Lands and Natural resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vice President also recalled the Minister\u2019s role in the recent general elections of the party, and likened his leadership style to an elephant that fights with a lion\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n

In the past few months,\u00a0Mr. Amewu has been at the forefront\u00a0of government’s efforts to end illegal mining, and\u00a0Dr. Bawumia further assured that the Nana Akufo-Addo government will not relent on the fight against illegal mining.<\/p>\n

“As a government, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo wants you to know that he is engaged daily in the business for which you elected him,” the Vice President assured.<\/p>\n
